A convenient small airport. There are seafood and fries, a sports bar, coffee shops and 2 VIP lounges. One is for local airlines, and the other is for holders of various Visa cards, including visa gold. Russian cards are not suitable. Aeroflot and Turkish Airlines do not have access to VIP lounges, there is no contract. Alcohol prices in duty free for Russians are 2 times more expensive
A new terminal for international flights has been opened. Oh, my God, that's great. The terminal is clean, everything is organized and debugged. Duty free is not big, but they pushed everything out)
It's a pity that there is no WiFi and the cafe is all on the second floor, as well as 5✨
Py.sy: There are special smoking rooms on each floor in the waiting area.
Smoking is harmful to your health.
But those who don't care about it can do it right at the airport 😁
Great. everything is new. It's gorgeous inside. There are many check-in counters. everything is informative. there is a place to eat * for every purse and taste*. you can also take public transport in 40 minutes.
I really like it, everything is clean and beautiful. Clear work of the staff. Yes, the cafe is expensive. Well, don't use it! Take sandwiches with you. I especially liked the waiting area when I had already passed customs and registration. Many places are cozy.
For the first time recently, on July 6, 2024, I flew through the new international terminal of the Almaty airport. I liked it, it was spacious, the service was at a high level. I was very pleased with the friendly attitude of the employee at the reception desk. Unfortunately, I didn't remember the young man's last name. I quickly resolved the situation, organized the escort of the Turkish ground service, where we were going to fly. I wish there were more such literate, cultured specialists of the younger generation! We are very grateful to him!
Arrived on 17.10.2024 waiting for luggage no more than 10 minutes. Good pace, well done.
I arrived on 5.10.2024. after entering the building, my luggage was already on the tape, which was very pleased, well done, the growth of the service is visible
08/17/2024 I arrived from Atyrau FlyArystan, I received my luggage in 5 minutes, well done, you can see you are working!!! Keep it up
04.06.2024
Disgusting. It's a terrible streak, the baggage has to wait for more than an hour and this is on domestic flights
06/21/2024 We are waiting for the luggage again, now even the screens do not show where the luggage is from which city. We landed according to the schedule at 15.25, arrived at the baggage waiting area at 15.40 and there we just started receiving the luggage of the passenger of the Shymkent flight, who arrived at 14.45, it turns out 50 minutes to get the luggage.....I have never seen this anywhere....They're taking him through Kaskelen
A beautiful large airport. Bright, clean with lots of cafes and shops. The windows have a good view of the aircraft parking lot and the runway. The only drawback is the access roads, even at five in the morning there is a big traffic jam at the entrance. It is necessary to lay additional time
It's okay!!! Cafes of all kinds !!! There is a place to sit at a compact airport and it's wonderful!!!! And the Staff has never made you doubt their competence and professionalism!!! and no manifestations of nationalism or aggression towards the guests (former) Capitals !!! Well done, I'm glad for Kazakhstan!!! Prosperity!!!!
Now the airport has become much more convenient and bigger. An international class airport. The staff is polite, they help if necessary. Located near the city. The internal navigation is clear.
I love the airport, the place of fulfillment of desires, the discovery of new countries and cities, opportunities, wonderful meetings!!! I thank all the airport and airline staff for a lot of magical experiences during the flight! Eki dunienin bakytyn nasip etsin Alla🤲🤲🤲
Visiting the airport is a whole adventure and a lot of discoveries. Despite the high prices for parking (I would even say fabulous), the parking area is a small branch of chaos, "democracy" in action. The ramp to the second floor is especially annoying in icy conditions, and you have to slow down on the rise, as cars stop wherever they have to to disembark passengers. The prices for everything are inflated to the limit. Any passenger's problem is a passenger's problem. No one is responsible for anything. In view of all this, I recommend taking a taxi, but at the time of arrival, it's like a lottery, traffic jams before entry can make significant adjustments. It is better to study the airport's layout in advance, since it takes a long time to find help here, and it's also not a fact that the hint will be correct. It's a bit difficult with airline representatives, the facts will speak for themselves. So you have to rely on Luck here.
It is possible to assume that everything is being done for the best. At least the hope of the visitors is written on their faces of the "delight" of their stay in this institution. It feels like everything is standard, but there are wishes for larger signs. The travelator vibrates like a suspension bridge and it is not in peak flow. The prices in local eateries are cosmic and this undermines the spirit of hospitality. After all, our business is based on earnings from one client. Fortunately, this is not a museum to remain delighted with the institution and the exhibition hall of information monitors. But it is already coping well with its function. At the peak of registrations, of course, it's like at a bazaar on sale before the new year. There is a weak information content, but people get lost. In foreign places, everything is simple, the signs can be seen from afar, it is worth raising your head and not twisting and lifting up to the top in front of the entrance there is a map that immediately catches your eye and will not pass by.
Everything is decent, clean. The staff is friendly and happy to help. A variety of food and drinks. The parking lot is quite large. The waiting room is in order, everything is under control, it is safe.
The airport is top, there are charging stations, there are cafeterias with great food, there are canteens where I haven't eaten yet, but the prices are quite inexpensive. There are even capsules, if you are very tired and want to sleep for 12 hours, pay 50 bucks. The only thing I didn't like was the very bad and old and already broken massage chairs.
Convenient airport, not far from the center, excellent road. Beautiful and very functional, border control works at a height, without queues and fuss. One drawback is that there is no terminal in the departure area for self-check-in.
I've been flying for as long as I can, but this airport is one of my favorites.
What did you like:
1. I have been 3 times, but never stood at the reception for more than 15 minutes, always fast
2. Adequate staff, including at customs
3. But the best place of this airport is the departure area. There is a cafe on the right, and you have a wonderful view of the mountains and the runway, and there I always wait for my plane with coffee, there are places, and the music is pleasant.
I didn't like it:
1. Still, there are not enough cafes and restaurants, as well as souvenir shops
Very well done! There are many green spaces in the departure area. There are many decent cafes, the prices in which are adequate. Well, it is very convenient that you can go through border control bypassing the border guards themselves!
The modern airport, the airport staff were very polite, there is a place to eat. Hospitality at the highest level 👍 Thanks to the fraternal people of Kazakhstan 🤲 Kazakhstan Alga🇵🇼🇺🇿
It's a good airport.
Everything is clear and fast. They accept hand luggage in the luggage.
There are many places to wait.
Shops, toilets (clean), 2 business halls.
There are not enough cafes, but you can eat delicious food.
A beautiful, comfortable airport.
We flew from Moscow by Aeroflot, it is convenient that boarding and disembarking from the plane took place along the sleeve.
At the airport, clean bathrooms. knots, delicious coffee.
I was pleased with the beautiful view of the mountains from the window of one of the cafes at the airport.
Excellent new airport, still undergoing renovation work. Everything is very convenient and accessible. I recommend the bar in the boarding area, with a magnificent view of the mountains of the Tien Shan massif.
Cozy, clean, good service, lots of information boards, lots
of food outlets. The international hall is spacious, clean, and there are not enough seats. The staff is polite and correct.
The airport is big! Beautiful. The staff is very kind. The waiting rooms are clean and large . Parking is also huge. The waiting time is not that long. The cleanliness is good. The inspection and control is fast . Registration is not long.
It's cool that a new international terminal has been built!
I often go there and I like everything.
It's not big, but everything is there now.
The only thing is to make more toilets. In the old terminal, he is alone and it is unclear where and do not always work!
Neat, stylish, modern.
The staff is polite, answer any question.
Everything you need before the flight can be found.
There are a lot of people, but not crowded. Very spacious.
By Russian standards, the airport is of regional size. Everything is convenient, clear, beautiful and tasteful. Pleasant and hospitable staff. There is a place to drink coffee. The business room is modest.
Good, but there are few places for those waiting. The halls are good, there is a place to eat and buy souvenirs. On the ground floor there is a budget delicious dining room. The second one has delicious coffee. Clear. There is a mother and child playroom in the international department. Parking is large, but there are not enough places. Sometimes you have to drive a few laps by car until you find a parking space. And in the evening, suspicious people walk around and look into cars.
The airport is beautiful, everything is clearly painted everywhere in Russian too, the people are friendly, the airport staff are responsive when contacting them, they will definitely help and do not turn their noses up. Thanks to the airport, I left a good impression.
Very small and cozy. But most importantly, safe. I felt calm and comfortable there. I was flying alone. She could have left her things with the bartender and gone to the ladies' room.. This is not Moscow... the impression is wonderful from Kazakhstan!!!
It's a good airport, but it's a little small.
I think after the launch of the new section, everything will be fine.
Departure and arrival went well.
You can have a snack, there are normal cafes.
A small airport for such passenger traffic.
But they work clearly, and in general everything is there.
The queues are controlled by employees, they suggest where it is better to go.
But, as everywhere else, it is better to arrive in advance.
The baggage claim process (loading suitcases onto a belt) is a huge growth point for the new terminal at Almaty airport. The staff dealing with baggage issues were polite and quickly resolved the issue. The passport control officer was curious and asked questions completely unrelated to the subject. In general, I am satisfied with the service. Thanks
Customs was quick and easy, parking is large, there are a lot of taxi drivers, buses too, they go with a very small interval, the main thing is to know the right route
The airport itself is clean, I will not say that there were long queues
Everything is moving decently fast
I liked the airport. Despite the large number of shipments, there were no large queues. Passport control has a large number of booths, you pass pretty quickly. The "clean" area of the airport-a lot of seats, everything is clean. Well done
It's a cool airport, everything is clear where the entrances and exits are. It is always clean, bright and cozy. Has the truth changed a little, or has my attitude changed? It's a pity that it's not ours..
Greetings to all readers. I've been thinking for a long time about how to leave my review, so I'm writing now. First of all, I want to thank all the people who work at this airport. You make long distances short, loads, etc... Probably everyone understands.
Secondly, when I arrive, I always see something new, it's amazing and makes me happy. But unfortunately there are also disadvantages.... You can only wait a long time standing or sitting. This is a big problem for those people who have health problems. There are other disadvantages too, but tolerable. I set 4 stars, because I wish my mother the best and that her trip was always convenient and pleasant.... And finally, thank you to all the staff for helping to make the long way short... pleasant... Thanks for everything. I wish all the employees good luck in their jobs and in their lives... You're great....
The staff is polite and helpful.
The waiting rooms are spacious, clean, although it was cool.
The parking lot is large, there is enough space for everyone.
Recommend 👍🏻
I do not know who writes reviews in which someone was tasty and cheaply fed, money was exchanged profitably, I know for sure that this is not the case at all! Our flight was delayed for a day, and we were offered hot meals, well, again, as suggested, we went through about five people so that we would then be sent with coupons to eat in this disgusting cafe! There might have been normal food in this cafe, but for people like us there were 3 dishes to choose from - dried manti, roast with uncooked potatoes floating in fat and casserole, which is also impossible to eat! Oh, there was also compote, already sour! In general, not for people, it was impossible to eat it and no one ate it, the waitress went to two tables, collected a bucket full of slop, really no one sees it! Why transfer products! In other cafes, everything is very expensive for money, a bottle of 0.25 water costs 900 tenge! Exchangers throughout the city change the ruble to tenge 1 to 5, at the airport 1 to 4! There is no such thing anywhere else! Let's move on, flights are not announced! Sometimes they can seem to remember and announce a couple of flights during the day, this is the maximum! All the scoreboards at the airport show different information! After lunch at the airport cafe, I was poisoned, so much so that I had to drip, but at the medical center I was offered a cerucal, although I spoke. That it's not enough anymore! And as I did not ask, they did not make an IV,! But in Aktobe, the health workers themselves came up to me and offered to urgently dig me up. There are very few seats at Almaty airport, there are not enough of them! The airport is big, but there is nowhere to sit down! In general, to summarize, this is the worst airport and its staff! In no case do not eat there and do not change money!
Firstly, it has not been completed yet, or rather, it has not been landscaped. Repairs are underway and a vase with cement and workers! It's very uncomfortable! Besides, we flew in from Istanbul to check things.Baghdad, then upon arrival, when they got bogazh, for some reason they were forced to lift heavy suitcases on a ribbon! A hundred times as much as it is unjustifiably very expensive! Golden coffee and tea! Not to mention the snacks! It's not cozy! And about flying in general, a separate topic! Air Astana endless delays, they stupidly put people in jail and make them wait for people, they feed them fables like someone is ill, then we wait for documents and so on and can hold them in the cabin for up to three hours, I don't read that there was already a flight delay! The degradation is complete! On the contrary, it should be developing upwards, but everything is going down
It has become much better-a new spacious terminal with ’sleeves" for boarding an airplane, without going outside (very convenient in bad weather), expanded parking. After the renovation of the old terminal is completed, there will be a modern airport for timely (hopefully)departures and arrivals to our southern capital
The international departure hall is small. Of the cafes, only a coffee shop, duty free is also small, alcohol and perfumes are from the assortment. The border guards work very quickly, the queue does not accumulate. It is better not to contact local taxi drivers, the Yandex Taxi application was working for me (18.04-23.04.2024) money was debited from the savings bank card, Russian. If you do not write off, you can choose to pay in cash. There is an exchanger at the airport or a few hundred meters from the arrival terminal, you can ask the driver to stop and exchange money at a more favorable rate.
After what happened before the new terminal was introduced, it's just a miracle. Large toilets. Working taps, paper 👍As if we were in the future 🥹The rapid passage of passport control overshadows the ever-lagging scanning device and their huge number 🫢(2 pieces). Large space and number of seats. Long waiting for luggage. Good lounges are, it seems to me, the only place that more or less fits the concept of a modern terminal. The new owners have a lot to work on to make the port a modern hub. I sincerely wish them good luck.
Excellent airport, spacious, international and domestic terminals nearby, comfortable waiting and departure halls, lots of cafes, everything is clean and beautiful!
It's a great airport. Everything is compact and very clear. Thanks to the service staff, for the beauty. The only downside is that I haven't found any designated smoking areas.
I came here to visit from the Russian Federation. I understand that this is still another country and it has its own rules, but I was very puzzled by the fact that only people with local mobile operators can use free Wi-Fi. It's terribly inconvenient. Due to the lack of Internet, I could not simply connect the roaming tariff through the operator's application. The woman at the information desk rudely told me this information. In general, be prepared for such difficulties if you do not have a Kazakh sim card. Otherwise, the airport is quite an ordinary place, neat and without any problems or inconveniences.
Good evening, dear comrades!!! Well done, what a place and parking is free. I flew to Vietnam, and it took a long time to register. It's better than before. I liked dutifrey, there are a lot of products for every taste. Upon arrival, I bought a men's duzi in dutfry without state duty, much cheaper than in the suburbs of the city
A modern airport, everything is comfortable and convenient. The indexes are duplicated in Russian and English. There is a duty free and a cafe. There are practically no queues, and the staff will be happy to help you
The new airport is great!
It's very spacious !!!
Everything is good in it!!!
I arrived just when it was opened only a few days ago, and the service was a little lame in many aspects, let's say, but still- the new is always better than the old!))))
