Arrival: Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) and getting into Baku

You arrive at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD). Express buses and the city bus run from the airport to 28 May station, which is simple and fine for a light traveller with a hotel in the centre; a private car is simpler for late arrivals, families with luggage, or hotels in the Old City, Buzovna and the Absheron villages. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Baku, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Istanbul to Baku flight

On board, the Istanbul to Baku flight is about 3 hours: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Let us know who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy

Flying with children, families and groups from Istanbul to Baku

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

How much is a flight from Istanbul to Baku?

Flight prices from Istanbul to Baku follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you by WhatsApp before you decide.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
