Cheap Flights from Almaty to Kazan Starting at $167

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is the main gateway to Kazakhstan and typically functions as the country’s principal international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines such as Air Astana and several Russian and Middle Eastern operators. Flights here can be mid-range in price compared with smaller domestic fields, though budget options are sometimes available on seasonal routes. The airport lies about 15–20 km southeast of Almaty city center; taxi rides usually take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and cost roughly the equivalent of a few USD to a moderate local fare, while shared shuttles and airport buses can be cheaper but slower. Pros: well-equipped international facilities and decent connectivity; cons: congestion at peak times and variable transfer times into the city.

Kazan International Airport (KZN) serves as Tatarstan’s main aviation gateway and typically handles a mix of domestic flights and seasonal international services, making it a regional hub rather than a large global transfer point. You’ll usually find a blend of Russian carriers and low-cost or charter operators on its route map, which can offer relatively competitive fares compared with bigger Russian hubs. The airport lies about 25–30 km northeast of Kazan’s city centre; road transfer by taxi or private transfer generally takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced, while public bus and Aeroexpress-style shuttle options take roughly 35–60 minutes for lower fares. Facilities are compact and modern enough for short connections, though peak times can be busy and international connections may be limited, so allow extra time for check-in and immigration when needed.
