Shymkent International Airport serves as the main air gateway for Kazakhstan’s third city and typically functions as a regional international hub rather than a large global connector. Flights are usually operated by national carriers like Air Astana and SCAT alongside a mix of budget and regional airlines, so fares can be competitive for domestic routes and moderate for international sectors. The airport lies about 15–20 km northeast of downtown Shymkent; taxis and shared minibuses (marshrutkas) are common, taking roughly 20–35 minutes depending on traffic with fares usually inexpensive for public options and higher for private rides. The facility is generally compact and convenient for quick transfers, though services may be more limited than at bigger Kazakh hubs — a good choice for efficiency if you prefer shorter waits, but expect fewer lounge and dining options compared with larger international airports.
Tehran’s air traffic is split between Imam Khomeini International (IKA) and Mehrabad (THR), each serving distinct roles. Imam Khomeini is the main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carrier flights, while Mehrabad functions as a domestic and regional hub largely used by local and low-cost operators. IKA lies about 45–60 km southwest of central Tehran, with airport shuttle buses, taxis and ride-hailing services taking roughly 45–90 minutes depending on traffic; fares can vary widely, with shared buses usually being the cheapest option. Mehrabad is much closer—around 10–15 km—reachable in 20–40 minutes by metro, taxi or bus for modest fares. Pros: IKA offers more international facilities and newer infrastructure; Mehrabad is far more convenient for downtown arrivals and shorter domestic connections. Cons: both airports can be affected by heavy congestion and delay risk during peak travel, and travel times to either airport can fluctuate significantly with city traffic.
