  "connection_tips": "Nakhchivan International Airport (NAJ) is more than a normal regional airport because it serves an Azerbaijani exclave whose outside links are shaped by geography and politics as much as by airline schedules. The airport is modern and workable, yet the strategic importance of the route means checks and formalities still matter. NAJ is the lifeline airport for Nakhchivan, and that makes it reliable in one sense but not casual in the way a large metro airport can feel.\n\nFor most travelers, the practical connection is between the airport and Nakhchivan city itself, which is short and usually simple by taxi or arranged hotel pickup. It is a compact airport, but not a casual one. For arrivals, keep local currency or a confirmed pickup ready and avoid assuming you will improvise a complex onward plan from the curb. Treat the short city transfer and the wider regional itinerary as one coordinated plan, especially if another air sector or official appointment depends on the same day running exactly to time.\n\nBut if your trip depends on a same-day onward sector, a border-adjacent itinerary, or a connection back through Baku, leave more margin than you might at a bigger hub. For departures, allow time for screening and any administrative steps, especially if the trip includes international sectors or official travel.",
