A relaxed start makes the whole trip better. This checklist helps you leave Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) calm and organised.
Documents
- Passport with enough validity: many destinations ask for at least six months, and Schengen countries require it to extend beyond your departure date
- Visa or e-visa printouts, if required
- Travel insurance policy details and hotel vouchers
- Return or onward ticket details
Timing
For international flights, arriving around three hours before departure is a comfortable rule, especially in peak holiday periods. Check in online where possible and note your terminal on your booking confirmation.
Baggage and comfort
Weigh your bags at home, keep valuables, medicines and chargers in your cabin bag, and pack liquids in containers of 100 ml or less. Carry a little local currency for your arrival.
Enjoy the wait
Bring a book, a charged phone with your boarding pass downloaded and a refillable water bottle.
Every WonderWay booking comes with a personalised departure checklist covering documents, transfers and hotel details.
