Cheap Flights from Samara to Baku — $136

Samara is served mainly by Kurumoch International Airport (KUF), the region’s principal international gateway and a hub for both scheduled carriers and some low-cost operators; it can be a practical entry point for Volga-region travel. Kurumoch sits about 45–50 km northeast of Samara city center, with typical transfers by aeroexpress or regional bus taking roughly 40–60 minutes and fares usually ranging from modest bus tariffs to moderate taxi charges. A smaller municipal airfield near the city handles private and occasional domestic flights. Pros: Kurumoch offers more international connections and basic passenger amenities; cons: the longer transfer distance and variable public-transport frequency can add time and planning.

Baku’s Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is the country’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional carriers, including Azerbaijan Airlines and a mix of European and Middle Eastern airlines. Located about 20–25 km northeast of the city center, transfer to central Baku usually takes 25–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares commonly in a modest range compared with Western Europe; airport buses and private shuttles can be cheaper but slower. The airport is a full-service hub with modern terminals and duty-free shopping, making it convenient for connecting flights, while peak-hour traffic and occasional delays can affect comfort and transfer predictability. For budget-oriented travelers, smaller regional airports are limited, so fare-conscious flyers often seek deals on low-cost carriers or connecting itineraries through nearby hubs.

The cost of a one-way flight from Samara to Baku ranges from $139 (March 2026) to $1,026 (December 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $329–$462.
