Heydar Aliyev Airport (GYD) is Baku’s main international gateway and typically serves as the city’s premium hub for both full-service carriers and regional connections, with Azerbaijan Airlines and several international airlines operating frequent services. Located around 20–25 km southwest of the city center, transfers can take roughly 25–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or about 30–45 minutes by airport shuttle; expect taxi fares to typically fall within a modest range and shuttles to be cheaper. The airport usually offers modern facilities, duty-free shopping, and direct international links, making it convenient for long-haul and business travelers; however, occasional congestion at peak times and limited late-night public transport can be downsides for budget-conscious or late-arriving passengers.

Tehran is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) functions as the primary international gateway, handling most long-haul and many regional carriers; it’s typically used by full-service airlines and some Middle Eastern and European connections. IKA sits about 45–60 km southwest of central Tehran, with travel times usually around 45–90 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle; fares can range from moderate to higher for private transfers. Mehrabad Airport (THR) is closer, roughly 8–12 km west of the city center, and typically handles domestic and some regional flights operated mainly by Iran’s domestic carriers. Transfers to Mehrabad usually take 20–40 minutes by taxi or bus with lower fares compared with IKA. Pros: IKA offers more international services and modern facilities, while Mehrabad is much more convenient for domestic travelers. Cons: IKA’s distance can add time and transfer cost, whereas Mehrabad may be busier and more basic in amenities.
