How much is a flight from Almaty to Astana?

"How much is the Almaty to Astana flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for the date you travel shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
