Almaty International Airport (ALA) serves as Kazakhstan’s largest and most international gateway, typically handling both full-service carriers like Air Astana and a range of regional and international airlines. It’s positioned about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with travel times usually around 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can commonly be in the mid-range for the region. Public options include airport buses and shared shuttles that may take 40–60 minutes at lower cost. As a modern hub it can be more comfortable and better equipped than smaller domestic fields, but peak-hour road congestion and occasional winter delays can affect convenience.
Fly nonstop from Almaty to Beijing for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Kazakhstan and China — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and delivers a smoother, more comfortable travel experience worth the extra cost for many passengers.
Beijing is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) has traditionally been the international and legacy-carrier hub, handling most long-haul flights and full-service airlines; it’s about 25–30 km northeast of the city center, with airport express and subway links taking roughly 35–50 minutes and fares commonly in the local transit range. Beijing Daxing (PKX) is a newer mega-hub designed to relieve congestion and attract both full-service and some low-cost services; it sits about 45–50 km south of downtown, reachable by high-speed airport express or coach in about 35–60 minutes at moderate ticketed rates. Taxis and ride-hailing are convenient from both but can be pricier and slower in peak traffic. PEK may feel more central and familiar, while PKX offers modern facilities though with longer transfers for some neighborhoods.
