How to travel around Azerbaijan by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Azerbaijan

  • Check Baku–Nakhchivan travel by date
    AZAL lists a direct Baku–Nakhchivan route and asks travellers to select dates for detailed prices. Check actual availability and ticket conditions for your date; the route description does not guarantee service on every date.

Arriving from another country

  • Find baggage at GYD using your flight display
    The airport advises checking flight information displays to identify your baggage belt. If baggage does not arrive, approach the lost baggage office and retain documentation for follow-up.
