Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is Azerbaijan’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s full-service hub, with regular flights by national carrier Azerbaijan Airlines and a mix of European, Middle Eastern and regional carriers. It is located about 20–25 km southeast of central Baku; travel by taxi or rideshare usually takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while airport shuttle buses and private transfers can take a bit longer, with fares typically ranging from budget bus prices to moderate taxi rates. The terminal is generally modern and comfortable, offering duty-free and lounge options, though peak times can be busy. For some travelers it’s convenient and well-equipped; for budget-conscious guests, options further into the city may offer cheaper accommodation but add transit time.

Samarkand International Airport (SKD) is the main gateway to the city and typically operates as Uzbekistan’s regional international hub, handling a mix of flag carriers and a few regional or low‑cost operators.

Check‑in and security are generally straightforward but facilities may be more modest than larger global hubs. Pros: close to the city and convenient for sightseeing; cons: limited lounge and shopping options and fewer nonstop long‑haul services.
