Airports — Baku
All departures from the Azerbaijani capital leave from Heydar Aliyev International, so there is no second airport to weigh up before you book. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and Ajet carry much of the traffic toward Turkey, Wizz Air and LOT Polish Airlines cover the Central European routes, while Air Serbia, Aegean Airlines and Israir fill in the rest of the map. Give yourself time for check-in and security, and confirm your carrier's desk before you set off.
When to go
Departures from Baku peak in the summer months, when families head for Antalya and Batumi and city breaks to Istanbul, Tbilisi and Europe fill up fast. School breaks and the winter holidays push fares up again, and weekend departures usually cost more than midweek ones. Late autumn and the stretch after the New Year tend to be calmer, and booking a few months ahead gives you the widest choice of airlines and departure times.
