A great cozy airport , especially a convenient VIP lounge , which can be paid separately , regardless of the ticket level: white leather comfortable sofas , excellent homemade delicious food and waiter service , waiting for the flight is comfortable and the staff literally took hands and carried bags to the minibus to the plane 👍👍👍🇰🇿
A new terminal for international flights has been opened. Oh, my God, that's great. The terminal is clean, everything is organized and debugged. Duty free is not big, but they pushed everything out)
It's a pity that there is no WiFi and the cafe is all on the second floor, as well as 5✨
Py.sy: There are special smoking rooms on each floor in the waiting area.
Smoking is harmful to your health.
But those who don't care about it can do it right at the airport 😁
The new airport is immediately visible, at a high level, not very large, but probably enough for Almaty. Everything is clear, clean, and thought out for passengers.
Everything is very on the level. The airport is near the city, it's not far to go. You go through passport control and customs quickly.
Upon arrival: you don't get lost anywhere, you find everything at once.
On departure: There is a Duty Free zone on departure. One of the disadvantages is that there is no exchanger in this zone. If you did not manage to exchange tenge before passport control, you can no longer change it inside. There is a smoking room. It is convenient to buy souvenirs in the neighboring building, where domestic flights are available. It is also packed in film.
There are no conditions for accepting a gift to travelers. Having to use a shared toilet is not very convenient. There is no prayer room for women, there is a large flow of Muslims and women have to pray in the passage to the new terminal or vice versa if women are in the room, then men have to wait!!!
it is clean and spacious enough, but there are too few seats in front of the airport, although there is enough space for them, and the duty free assortment has decreased as if, but cafes and coffee shops have appeared
I was in the new terminal. They came up with everything very modernly. The toilets are perfectly clean. I was pleased with the drinking water fountain, which is a big plus right away.
Thank you so much for the lovely corner. Everything is gorgeous and everything is done. It's convenient and healthy to visit and travel to all corners of the world.
The new terminal is just super, it's easy and convenient to navigate. The entrance is convenient and there are many times more places to wait, and queues are practically not formed due to the operational work of employees
Perhaps the biggest plus is the lack of frames and scanners at the entrance, as at Singapore airport)).
But specifically, it is close enough to the city center, there is a convenient connection by public transport, including a night bus, although I did not use it.
Cons - there are few catering areas and, in general, the shopping area is small.
The airport is not big, but it is clean and everything is in order.
There are exchangers in the arrival area and you can buy a SIM card.
Also to eat.
Nice and friendly people.
The new one is large and bright, some places are still undergoing renovation work, but overall the atmosphere is cool. There is a storage room - reliable, friendly and nice)))
Changed for the better! A civilized, convenient and comfortable new terminal for international flights! It is bright, there is a lot of space, a good lounge room.
A beautiful country, great people, a red city. But sometimes only one person will spoil it, for example, an Uncle at the check-out of the international arrivals gate, tried to ask for money or at least any things from the luggage (to steal more precisely) of every foreigner. He became a star in our social network) I wonder who gave him the right to ruin the image of all countries? We don't feel sorry for those things, but for the image of such a beautiful city.
It is not possible to drive in normally, and if you do not find parking in one stop, then you have to drive about a kilometer to turn around and stand in traffic again. And all for the sake of 15-40 minutes of waiting. There seem to be fewer problems at the expense of departure, a zone was made in the new terminal for stopping and disembarking passengers, it is convenient on the one hand to drop off and leave. But what if you need to escort someone on a flight? 10 minutes may not be enough, but I really don't want to work hard for a fine and evacuation. Of course, due to the increase in the number of flights, the load on passenger traffic has also increased. There is a way out to free the parking lot, but most visitors may not like it very much... Although there is a more painless option, with the organization of a parking lot for waiting for flights outside the airport, but it will be much more financially unprofitable, although convenient from the point of view of the greeters
There seems to be something new, but there are still a few flaws.
The flight was delayed for three and a half hours, they didn't even explain anything, the reason, what and how, and most importantly, the trick was not to feed people or that they should provide hot meals after a delay in departure or something else, without waiting for a four-hour delay, they announced boarding, somehow cunningly thought up)
If possible, do not fly through this airport. It's a complete horror, a small airport not adapted for international transit flights from the word at all (you won't even find where to sit, I'm silent about everything else). We flew to Vietnam through it, both flights departing from it were postponed for 4-6 hours, a hotel near the airport for homeless people, do not even think about staying there.
A very good airport! There are new toilets! The food is delicious and not very expensive! Quick check-in and a nice waiting room! I advise everyone to fly through this airport
It's not a very big airport, but everything is clear and close, the registration was completed in 15 minutes. Attentive and friendly staff. There is enough space in the waiting room, it is very clean
Four months ago, a second building with international departures was opened. The entrance is from the second floor. Very compact, inside modern access control systems, fast control.
Our airport is getting better and better. Wider, bigger, freer! Of the disadvantages, as usual, there are only parking spaces and traffic jams at the entrance to the airport...
The airport is quite convenient.
Everything is intuitive in terms of movement and logistics.
The only disadvantage is that there is a shortage of parking spaces.
As of June 24, everything is fine and comfortable inside, but repairs of the roadway, parking and entrances are continuing on the street, which causes great difficulties with taxi passage, terrible crowding in narrow passages, a boarding area for 3 cars. At the airport, after inspection, Duty Free has only one cafe with food and there are queues and one store where half is alcohol, half is sweet and souvenirs. The rest of the establishments are only under construction.
A small airport for the largest city in the country. A poor dude. It is difficult to have a snack in the departure area, the prices are too high. The cafe in the waiting area has the same story. Parking is expensive - it is better not to leave the car at the port. The parking lot is small - it's clogged, it's hard to find a place. In general, it is provincial and dreary.
Clean, sparsely populated.The cafes are not bad for a waiting room.Not chic, but not unpretentious either.Everything is convenient.Border guards try not to create a queue.
Baggage check-in has become a little more complicated, polite staff, there is a place to eat inexpensively, inspection and control are good; I do not worry about my safety.
It's a good big airport, it's a bit far to go from the center, of course, but this is Alma-Ata, there are mountains here, there's no other way. Very beautiful views from the international waiting room.
The terminal is small, so you won't have to walk around it much. Registration, border guards and the security service work quickly, smoothly and politely. The toilet is clean.
Public transport is not allowed on the territory, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the bus from the terminal.
There are no drinking fountains in the waiting room for international flights (water costs 950 tenge ~ 200 rubles for 0.33) and it stinks of tobacco, because there is a smoking room downstairs, where the doors are constantly opening and closing, as people go back and forth.
I was waiting for a transfer for about 4 hours.
A good, modern airport, nothing to say. The staff is friendly and helpful.
I hope to come to Kazakhstan on a full-fledged visit!
Good luck!👍
Excellent hotel, close to all shops, a huge shopping center. The hotel itself is small, family-like, but cute and homely.There is a kitchen, there is a refrigerator, a microwave, in general all the dishes, a full kitchen. Clean, cozy, cleaning, friendly and helpful receptionists at the reception, in general, I am very satisfied!
The airport is top, there are charging stations, there are cafeterias with great food, there are canteens where I haven't eaten yet, but the prices are quite inexpensive. There are even capsules, if you are very tired and want to sleep for 12 hours, pay 50 bucks. The only thing I didn't like was the very bad and old and already broken massage chairs.
With the opening of the new terminal, it has definitely become better and easier. The new dutyfree is gorgeous🔥
In the internal terminal, you can sometimes get confused in finding your gate😞
Terrible service even at check-in, they managed to organize corruption, flew away on 10.10.2024, the girl at the check-in behaved disgustingly, it felt like she put us on her plane for free, there was a queue in economy, later business class caught fire, she began to drive us like cattle saying that she would not serve us, a man passed in front of us eight and everyone said that the business class later turned out that they were also economy class, apparently they were relatives, they also flew with us in the economy and in the end, this girl gave us places near the emergency exits, although she was asked that after the operation. Keep an eye on your employees, this is lawlessness, even at registration they manage to plant such incompetent employees, probably someone's relative
Disgusting new duty free, they do not accept normal, unbroken money due to the fact that they have already been used by someone. Despite the fact that they violate the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, they say they know, but they cannot accept non-new banknotes ... a very "customer-oriented" person of Kazakhstan, shame! So, when you are going to fly out of Almaty, do not forget to print new bills! And since my flight was also delayed, I had to sit hungry and without water, in a word, I have money, but I can't buy anything because of internal laws that the local managers of dutik, who reached power, came up with themselves.
I ask the management to contact me and explain in writing why they do not accept money
A very beautiful and convenient airport! There are all the necessary facilities, including for those who want to smoke. Not all airports and train stations have it now.
The modern airport, the airport staff were very polite, there is a place to eat. Hospitality at the highest level 👍 Thanks to the fraternal people of Kazakhstan 🤲 Kazakhstan Alga🇵🇼🇺🇿
Parking is a bit cramped, of course. But you can stick it in. As it was, there were no problems. Polite airport staff, clean waiting rooms. An ordinary airport.
You can stay at airports indefinitely, watch the planes. This airport is one of those. Great location, long strip, beautiful views. There is a cafe inside, Duty Free
Since 2006, I have been visiting Almaty regularly, then it seemed big, beautiful and modern. Now it is very outdated and overloaded. There are huge traffic jams at the entrance and exit. We are waiting for the opening of the new terminal.
The airport is not large, there are a lot of people at peak hours, the inspection and customs control were completed quickly, there are a lot of people and very little space in the departure waiting area, except for Starbucks, in fact there is nothing else, it is stuffy and very hot in summer.
