Busan is served mainly by Gimhae International Airport (PUS), a compact gateway handling both domestic flights and a growing number of international routes to East Asia. It typically functions as a regional hub for full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike — expect carriers such as Korean Air, Asiana (codeshares) and several budget operators. The airport sits roughly 20–25 km west of downtown Busan; by metro or light rail it can take about 40–60 minutes, while taxis are usually 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by route and time of day. Pros: relatively small terminal, straightforward transfers and frequent budget options. Cons: can be busy during holiday peaks and has fewer long-haul choices than Seoul.
Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s premium hub for full-service carriers and many regional connections, while low-cost operators may use it for seasonal routes. Located about 15–20 km southeast of central Almaty, transfer times to the city center are usually 25–40 minutes by taxi or ride-hail and around 40–60 minutes by public bus or shared shuttle, with fares typically ranging from modest local bus prices up to moderate taxi fares. The airport offers a compact terminal with duty-free and basic amenities, so it can be convenient for international connections but may feel busy at peak times; travelers trade a direct central location for occasional congestion and limited late-night services compared with larger global hubs.
