Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main gateway and usually functions as the country’s primary international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines; low-cost options can be found on some routes. Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, it’s typically a 20–30 minute drive in normal traffic and can take longer at peak times. Ground transport options include taxis (metered and fixed-fare services), airport shuttle buses, and private transfers; fares commonly range from modest local rates to higher fixed fares for convenience. Pros: relatively modern facilities and frequent international connections; cons: can be busy during peak periods and occasional longer waits for immigration or luggage.

Seoul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is South Korea’s primary long-haul hub, handling most international carriers and premium services; it’s often perceived as pricier but also more comfortable and efficient. Incheon sits about 48 km west of central Seoul, with the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) taking roughly 45–60 minutes to Seoul Station (fare ranges around KRW 4,500–9,000 depending on service), plus express buses and taxis that can take 50–90 minutes depending on traffic. Gimpo Airport (GMP) functions more as a domestic and short-haul gateway, hosting low-cost and legacy domestic routes as well as some regional flights to Japan and China. Gimpo is much closer—about 15 km from downtown—reachable by AREX or subway in 20–30 minutes for a modest fare, and by taxi in 25–45 minutes. Pros: Incheon offers extensive international connectivity and modern amenities; Gimpo provides faster access to the city and lower ground transfer costs. Cons: Incheon’s distance can add transit time and cost, while Gimpo has fewer long-haul options and smaller international facilities.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Almaty to Seoul is $183 (October 2025), while the maximum is $352 (April 2026). On average, a ticket costs $247–$442.
