Good to know
- Book two to four weeks in advance and stay flexible with your dates to catch a lower fare.
- Both Aeroflot and Air Astana depart from Sheremetyevo (SVO), a large international hub, so arrive early to allow time for check-in and security.
- Keep your passport and any required entry documents for Kazakhstan ready, and check the current visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
