Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s primary international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers alongside regional and low-cost airlines, so it can be a mix of premium and value options. Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, onward travel usually takes 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares are commonly in the mid-range for the region. Public transport options include buses and shared shuttles, which can be slower but cheaper. The airport generally offers modern facilities and duty-free shopping, though peak times can mean busy lines; it’s convenient for many arrivals but can feel congested during high season.
Chelyabinsk’s main gateway is Chelyabinsk Airport (Balandino), serving as the city’s primary domestic and limited international hub. It typically handles flights from Aeroflot affiliates, S7 and regional carriers, with occasional charter and seasonal services; fares can be moderate compared with larger Russian hubs. The airport lies about 18–25 km northeast of the city centre, and transfers are usually by taxi (25–40 minutes, fares vary), shared shuttle/minibus services (roughly 30–50 minutes, lower cost), or private transfer; there is limited direct public-transport connectivity with buses and suburban routes. Pros: compact terminal, straightforward check-in and short walks; cons: fewer long-haul options and sometimes basic facilities outside peak times.
