Cheap Flights from Osaka to Almaty Starting at $229

Osaka is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Kansai International (KIX) is the city’s international gateway and a major regional hub, typically handling long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some low-cost airlines; It sits on an artificial island about 50–60 minutes from central Osaka by train, with the JR Haruka express and Nankai limited express taking roughly ¥1,400–¥3,000 depending on service. Buses and airport shuttles can take 60–90 minutes and are usually priced in the ¥1,500–¥2,500 range. KIX is convenient for international connections but can feel further from downtown and involve higher transfer times. Itami (Osaka International, ITM) functions more as a domestic and regional airport, mainly serving short-haul flights operated by Japan’s domestic carriers and some low-cost operators; it’s located about 20–30 minutes north of central Osaka. Regular airport buses reach the city center in roughly 30–50 minutes and usually cost around ¥600–¥1,000, while taxi journeys are quicker but noticeably pricier. Itami is often seen as more convenient for quick domestic hops and shorter transfers, though it lacks extensive international services and might be busier during peak domestic travel periods.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically serves as a hub for full-service carriers and regional airlines, with low-cost options operating on select routes. Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, transfer times can range from 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares are commonly in the modest local range, or you can use shared shuttle buses and airport transfers for similar durations at lower cost. The airport generally offers a full range of passenger services and lounges, making it convenient for international connections, while peak traffic or winter conditions can sometimes add delays—beneficial for comfort but potentially slower than smaller domestic fields.
