Riyadh is served primarily by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), the city’s major international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights and hosting flag carriers as well as a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines. Located roughly 35–40 km north of downtown Riyadh, travel to the city center can take about 30–60 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing depending on traffic, with fares typically higher than short urban trips; airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. RUH tends to be perceived as mid-to-upper range in price compared with regional peers, offering extensive lounges and amenities but significant transfer distances within its large terminal. Pros include wide route coverage and modern facilities; cons can be long landside distances and variable transit times to central Riyadh.

Almaty Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s busiest hub for full-service carriers and regional airlines, with some low-cost operators on select routes. Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, travel time by taxi is usually 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, while shared shuttles and private transfers can take a similar range; fares often run from modest local rates up to mid-range for convenience. Public bus and aeropuerto express options are available and can be cheaper but slower. Pros: extensive route network, full passenger facilities and frequent scheduled services. Cons: can be busy during peak periods and transfer times may vary with city traffic.
