Traveling by Plane in Afghanistan
Domestic flights are a practical way to move between cities. Main airlines include:
• Kam Air (book online or in physical offices)
• Ariana Afghan Airlines (frequent delays, less reliable)
Important Flight Info
• Most domestic flights go through Kabul (e.g. Herat to Mazar requires a transfer in Kabul)
• Flights cost: $60–$120 one way
• Book locally if you’re already in Afghanistan to avoid online booking issues
Booking Tip
• Online payments may not always go through—always double-check and follow up with the airline office if needed
Airport Security
• Be prepared for multiple security layers: body searches, bag checks, and document inspections
• Arrive at least 2 hours early before domestic flights
