Heydar Aliyev International (GYD) is Baku’s main international gateway and typically serves as the city’s full-service hub, handling most long-haul and regional flights for carriers like Azerbaijan Airlines and major Gulf and European airlines. Located about 25–30 km south of downtown, transfer times to the city center can be around 25–40 minutes by taxi or 40–60 minutes by shuttle/bus depending on traffic; fares usually range from modest flat-rate taxis to low-cost public buses. The airport offers full passenger services and lounges, making it more comfortable for transit and business travelers, while public transport options can be more budget-friendly but less convenient for late arrivals.
Xi’an is served mainly by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s primary international and domestic hub handling most long-haul and connecting services; there’s also a smaller city airport occasionally used for charter flights. XIY typically hosts national carriers and a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 40–45 km northwest of Xi’an’s city center; common transfers include airport shuttle buses (roughly 40–60 minutes), the high-speed airport express train or regular intercity train (around 30–45 minutes), taxis and ride-hailing (30–50 minutes, fares varying by service and time of day). Pros: broad route network and modern facilities; cons: relatively long transfer distance and possible congestion during peak travel periods.
