An honest word about this route
In most cases flying between Almaty and Astana is faster and cheaper: an hour and a half in the air against fifteen hours on the road. We say so plainly, because we have no interest in selling a trip you will regret.
A road transfer makes sense in specific situations: weather cancellations, moving bulky equipment or samples, a journey with stops in Balkhash and Karaganda, fear of flying, or a business trip with several points along the way.
