Baku to Kabul?

Has anyone flown this route? Did you have to buy tickets in advance or could you just show up in Baku and buy them there for about the same price as booking in advance?

    Hey the first time make pre-arrangements. I live in the Caucasus and wouldn't just show up. I would be very interested to read anyone's post and their experiences about entering Afghanistan. It's a super dangerous place and one would be totally flagged by intelligence agencies from multiple countries. Only thing more dangerous than just going there is to go there and preach religion other than the prevailing one. Is that what we have here?

      Surely you are joking. I don't even have a religion to preach.

      I know it is dangerous.

      What part of the Caucasus do you live in?

        Hello
        I live in the Stavropol region. Are you alone? Are you clear that this area views un escorted women as targets of opportunity? I'm not joking and don't call me Surely.

      I will be visiting friends and going with a guy who has been a couple of times already and has a lot of contacts there. He'll be flying in directly from Canada and I am trying to decide where to fly in from as I will be travelling through Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, etc.

      I would have to be really stupid to not know it is dangerous.

          Thanks.

          I have been to the Caucasus. I was in the Karbadino Balkaria region. Fascinating place, esp the history and linguistic diversity.
