Baku Heydar Aliyev (GYD)

GYDTerminal 1Landside Ground Floor, Zone B, by check-in desk 40Depends

Salam Lounge

Highest Priority Pass score on the field (about 3.9) because it is quiet — and landside. Once you clear the first security you cannot walk back in. International only.

How to get in

Priority PassPriority Pass (international only; max 2 hours; children under 2 free)

The honest take

Salam is the T1 landside Priority Pass room by desk 40. It scores higher than the airside rooms because it is empty of post-security crowds, and it offers in-lounge check-in plus a hand-luggage porter. International only. Leave it before the first security if your boarding pass is T1 — you cannot walk back after that checkpoint.
