Shymkent International Airport (CIT), located about 12–14 km northeast of the city center, serves as the main international gateway for southern Kazakhstan and can be considered a regional hub rather than a major international transfer point. It typically hosts national carriers like Air Astana and SCAT Airlines alongside some low-cost and regional operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-range depending on route and season. Ground connections include taxis (about 15–25 minutes, fares usually modest), airport shuttle buses and occasional shared vans; a taxi ride normally costs more but is quicker and more convenient. The airport is compact and easy to navigate, which makes check-in and transfers often straightforward, though limited dining and lounge options can make longer waits less comfortable.

Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), a major international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, and the closer Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah/ Subang Airport (SZB), which is typically used for turboprops, regional flights and some budget services. KUL sits about 45–60 km from the city center and can be reached by the KLIA Ekspres train in roughly 28 minutes (higher fares for express service) or by taxis and ride-hailing in 45–70 minutes depending on traffic; shared buses and coach services offer cheaper transfers. SZB is nearer (around 20 km), reachable by taxi or light rail connections in about 25–40 minutes. Pros: KUL provides wide international connectivity and modern facilities; SZB can be quicker for domestic or regional hops. Cons: KUL’s distance can mean longer transfer times and variable taxi costs, while SZB has fewer long-haul options.
