A cheap Almaty to Medina flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Almaty to Medina flight first, then the alternatives.

Airlines flying from Almaty to Medina
Who flies from Almaty to Medina? Air Astana and SCAT Airlines. Between them the route runs several a week. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for the date you travel and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
- Air Astana - Almaty to Medina
- SCAT Airlines - Almaty to Medina
Departure: Almaty International Airport (ALA)
Your journey starts at Almaty International Airport (ALA). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. Bus 92 and taxi apps link the airport with the city and are inexpensive, and the single-line metro does not reach the airport; a private car is simpler for the mountain resorts and for the long day trips to Charyn Canyon, Kolsay and Bishkek.
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Almaty to Almaty International Airport
- Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Almaty International Airport
Arrival: Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED) and getting into Medina
Arrival is at Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Madinah is the second holiest city of Islam, home of the Prophet's Mosque, with Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED) about 15 km north-east of the mosque and the Haramain high-speed rail linking the city with Makkah and Jeddah. We provide airport transfers in Medina with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.
Many travellers continue from Medina to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Almaty to Medina flight
On board, the Almaty to Medina flight is about 6 hours 30 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Let us know who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Almaty to Medina
Three things to know about the flight from Almaty to Medina with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and typically a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.
Things to do in Medina when you land
Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet's Mosque, Quba Mosque, Mount Uhud and the martyrs' cemetery, Masjid al-Qiblatayn and the Seven Mosques are what most passengers come to Medina for. Madinah is the second holiest city of Islam, home of the Prophet's Mosque, with Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED) about 15 km north-east of the mosque and the Haramain high-speed rail linking the city with Makkah and Jeddah. Eat Madinah's Ajwa dates, foul and tamees for breakfast and mandi and madhbi while you are there.
If you want the days in Medina organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.
Best time to fly from Almaty to Medina
The city is busiest during Ramadan and the Hajj season, when roads around the Central Area are managed; summers are very hot, and winter days are mild. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Almaty to Medina are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.
Return flight from Medina to Almaty
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Medina to Almaty booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much is a flight from Almaty to Medina?
"How much is the Almaty to Medina 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 provides the current cost for your dates within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Almaty to Medina flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.
How do I book flights from Almaty to Medina?
Fill in the short form on this page with your date, one-way or return, the number of adults and children and the class. Haqqi Tours messages you through WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost; you confirm, we book and send the e-ticket.
Can I choose my seat?
On most airlines, yes - free at check-in or for a small fee at booking. Tell us your preference by WhatsApp and we add it.
Can I book the Almaty to Medina flight for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the carrier for a group fare.
What is the cheapest flight from Almaty to Medina?
Usually an early-booked mid-week departure on the carrier with the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Let us know if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Almaty to Medina flight across the days you can travel.
Is baggage included in the Almaty to Medina flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
Do I need to print the e-ticket?
No - the e-ticket and the booking reference on your phone are enough for check-in. We send both and remind you to carry the passport or ID used for booking.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Yes - extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles can be added at booking on most airlines, at a lower rate than at the airport. Tell us what you are carrying.
Which airlines fly from Almaty to Medina?
On this route: Air Astana and SCAT Airlines. Fares, departure times and baggage rules differ between them, so we compare all of them for your dates and send the sensible options side by side.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Space, food and flexibility: business class adds a bigger seat, a meal, lounge access and priority boarding, and generally a more flexible ticket. We send the cost of both so you can decide.
When is the best time to book the Almaty to Medina flight?
As soon as your dates are fixed. Low fare tiers open months ahead and rise as seats sell; holidays and summer departures fill first.
How long is the flight from Almaty to Medina?
About 6 hours 30 minutes in the air, non-stop. We send the exact times of the flight you choose.
Can I book a return flight from Medina to Almaty?
Yes. Choose "return" on the form and give both dates; we compare a return fare with two singles and book the cheaper one. If the return date is not fixed, we spell out the flexible options.
How early should I be at Almaty International Airport?
Around two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one, more at peak times or with bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop early - we send the exact deadline with the ticket.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Medina to Almaty, or onward flights from Medina - and puts it all on one booking.
