How to book Azerbaijan Airlines flights to the Maldives via Baku safely, with different baggage allowances for each traveler

TL;DR

For Maldives flights via Baku, check and book directly on the official Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) website, as aggregator fares may not be ticketable and can be cancelled. One booking was made for four travelers with a 23 kg checked bag added for only one passenger.

What the community said

Aggregator prices can differ from the fare shown by AZAL, particularly for the return flight. If the lower intermediary fare is no longer available for ticketing, the booking may be cancelled because the airline cannot issue it at that price.
