Nestled in between the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian Sea lies the country of Azerbaijan aka the land of fire. To an outsider, Azerbaijan is probably known best for the Formula 1 taking place in Baku, the capital city. This is also where ones 5 day adventure begins thanks to direct flights from both London Heathrow and Gatwick.
Unfortunately, as of 2025, accessibility in Azerbaijan is somewhat limited and, it has to be said that one of the most trickiest parts when planning was to work out how to move Superbunny around said country. Granted, the bus network in Baku is mostly wheelchair accessible, however, this does not apply to the H1 service connecting Heydar Aliyev International Airport to the city. It is hoped that this regular bus service will become wheelchair accessible in the future.
Fortunately for wheelchair users, Baku Taxis, a government-backed taxi company possesses a fleet of London cabs complete with fold out ramps (built to UK standards). There seem to be plenty of these waiting outside the terminals at Heydar Aliyev, however, if not, one can request a cab at the desk. The only issue (which one has faced back in the UK) is that, for the older models of London cabs (which I believe Baku is phasing out), the driver must find a raised section of pavement to avoid a steep gradient. The newer models possess slightly longer ramps to combat this.
The cost from Heydar Aliyev International to the Radisson Blu is slightly more expensive if one wishes to use a wheelchair accessible London cab compared to a conventional taxi costing around 70AZN.
