It's a very beautiful airport. The people are welcoming and friendly. There were no problems with border control. Currency exchange offices are located nearby. They quickly issue local SIM cards.
Everything is available, both taxis and minibuses, there is a place to eat delicious food. Very kind people work here!Nursultan Airport is one of the best airports in the entire CIS!
Nice, spacious airport. The navigation is clear, you can quickly figure out where to go. In any case, you can always ask the staff. They respond in a friendly and polite manner)
A good airport, not very far from the city, the room is clean and tidy. The airport staff is polite and friendly👌💯
But on the last trip, due to the fact that I had to arrive at the airport early, it was obvious that in the terminal for international flights, there are only chairs where I had to sit for several hours, there are no comfortable and comfortable chairs, etc. Also, there is only one hotel on the territory of the airport, (not counting capsule ones) where all places are booked 2-3 months in advance.
An excellent airport for such a city. Friendly staff. Comfortable chairs, it is always nice to be there on departure and arrival, as well as to meet guests.
The airport is unexpectedly small, but at the same time, it is quite convenient, comfortable and cozy. There is everything you need, and at the same time all this is in its place. The only thing I didn't like was some muddy guy who very persistently offered to take a taxi to the city, for 10 thousand tenge. At the same time, he also aggressively convinced that it would not be cheaper to find. And in response to laughter, he almost got into a fight. :) As a result, he left by Yandex taxi for 1820 tenge. Yes, it certainly has a mediocre relationship to the airport, but keep this in mind. Otherwise, everything is just fine.

A good, modern airport. Everything is clean, friendly staff. Prices in all cafes are adequate, you can have a delicious and inexpensive meal. Excellent navigation will not allow you to get lost) Inexpensive Parking for cars, but we had difficulties with payment, we had to seek help from police officers. They were super responsive and helped us figure it out.
A modern cool airport equipped with all available automation tools. But! all invested investments are broken down by non-working processes and non-functioning equipment: the impression is that they "forgot to issue instructions" from a cool airport)))
Examples:
1) the information about the landing time is organized ugly! We stood for 2 hours waiting for the landing on Moscow. At the same time, boarding has not yet begun in fact, but on the scoreboard right at the exit there is information that boarding the flight has ended
2) the name on the infotable at the boarding gates on the ground floor was confused (Aug 3, 2024, ~10:00): the exit to Batumi corresponded to the departure to Doha, and the inscription Perm meant departure to Batumi
3) the cancellation and postponement of the flight from 08/02/25 to Moscow (it seems to be an ordinary event, especially for a veteran Aeroflot) turned out to be a complete shock for the local team
Clean, beautiful, nice airport. A decent dining room. Good duty-free service, the prices are average. It's cheaper to fly abroad than back when you fly to Russia for 15%
Everything is convenient and fast.
After the scale of Moscow's airports, it seems very compact.
Russians are not particularly picky, customs both on arrival and on departure clarifies the purpose of the trip and quickly lets them through.
The airport is terrible, the capacity of the passport control is terrible, the wait is more than 30 minutes. On the 3rd floor, there is a VIP waiting room , you can have a great time, a good menu, imported drinks, excellent staff.
The interior of the airport is designed in a modern style, with a lot of glass and metal. All waiting and check-in areas are equipped with comfortable chairs and information boards.
As for security, Astana Airport is one of the safest in Kazakhstan thanks to modern equipment and highly qualified personnel.
The only drawback is that some flights are delayed due to weather conditions or technical problems. However, in general, Astana International Airport leaves positive impressions.
The airport is new, clean and cozy. On domestic flights, there is a long queue for inspection. Self-registration is also offered at special terminals, which is not very convenient.
On the plus side, everything is fast and clean. Woolly employees are very touching (I'm talking about service dogs).
On the downside, I'm used to a lot of equipment checking the contents of luggage. I understand with my head that the state is super peaceful and it's just not necessary there, but I flinch every time I hear any extraneous sound.
I really liked it, the terminal is convenient, spacious, duty free is excellent, the exchange point is round the clock, but the capsule hotel is very small, there were not enough places.
everything is cool, personal, beautiful stewards, cool pilots, police modders, I will separately note the dogs of search engines, they are so smart, coffee machines do not all work, but everything is clean, everything is normal
Very high quality service. The airport is very clean. The airport itself looks very modern from the inside. General opinion: I really liked the airport and would like to come more often.
It's a good airport. The staff always helps, we constantly ask you to call a taxi at the information kiosk. Many thanks to the staff working there! Waiting rooms with comfortable chairs, there are always places. There is a place to eat and relax.
A very clear airport. I was here for the first time and figured out where everything was. You can buy a SIM card, change money and withdraw it from an ATM. By the way, I read that the exchange rate is not profitable. But it turned out to be a very good one. I realized this when I was looking for exchangers in the city. If I had known, I would have changed it at the airport. The SIM card cost 5,000 tenge or 1,000 rubles. Very convenient.
Excellent airport, friendly and comfortable space. Quick and convenient check-in, a spacious clean area at the gates. A small but friendly duty free service. You can always take good-quality "Rakhatov" chocolate and national souvenirs as a gift. Customs inspection is prompt and convenient. A positive space.
A very convenient and beautiful airport! There is a capsule hotel! Prices in local cafes are very affordable, and the people themselves in Kazakhstan are just wonderful.
Cozy and comfortable! There is also a cafe, a dining room for different tastes, and a choice, there is a shop, If necessary, there is an exchange office. It is easy to get to the city from the airport by bus, at a very affordable price, the route goes through the whole city to the railway station.
It is a very interesting airport. You won't hear the usual ads here. Everything is quiet and calmly displayed on the scoreboard. This is a quiet airport. Here you can drink the most delicious hot chocolate from the vending machines. There are ATMs and exchangers of various currencies. There are storage rooms and rest rooms. Polite staff. Clear. The only thing that is not thought out is that it is cold at night at the airport because of the air conditioners. Overall, it is a very good airport.
A modern airport. Clean enough. There is an electronic passport control for citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan. There is everything you need - shops, toilets, etc. Wi-Fi is weak.20-30 minutes to city facilities (if there are no traffic jams).
I didn't really see the airport itself from the outside, but it was comfortable inside in transit. The staff were very polite and ready to help at any moment.
Convenient location. Lots of parking spaces. Everything is clear at the airport, it is easy to find what you need by following the signs. Clean, cozy, lots of places to wait for your flight. Everything you need is there
The capital's airport has become better in recent years, cafes have appeared in the international terminal and on domestic lines, where you can drink coffee and have a snack for adequate money while waiting for your flight, which is very pleasing.
It's a cool airport. Apparently the international terminal is not fully equipped yet. It seemed to me that there were few waiting places at the counters. And there is only one opportunity to drink coffee (I'm not talking about vending machines). But I'm being picky. In general, the airport is great, after checking in and going to the boarding gate there is a place to go. The prices for food and drinks are reasonable.
One of the most comfortable airports in Central Asia. Queues at the check-in desks, which are moving very slowly, are not the biggest nuisance. The main thing is to know about this feature and arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before the flight. Wonderful shops and affordable (compared to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yekaterinburg ... And SO ON) catering points.
The airport is always clean, the staff is always polite from the entrance to boarding the plane. They always smile and look at their politeness and good mood. You always fly in a great mood ❤
Staff, waiting room. The information department politely and clearly explained everything to all questions. Of the disadvantages, the price of parking on the airport's website does not correspond to reality, and the difference is not small.
So far, this is the best airport in Kazakhstan in my opinion. Let's compare when the new airport in Almaty will be completed))) everything is convenient and simple, you will not get lost. The staff is polite. Convenient access. The boarding terminals are excellent. They don't take buses to the runway))) Since 2012, I have been flying frequently from and to Astana. During this time, there was not a single situation at the airport that could spoil my mood. Moreover, in 2021, I was late for my flight, from the right side where a large parking lot is visible, the runway did not get on the plane, but as a consolation prize I was able to film how he drove away from the FRI, drove onto the runway and took off 😂
By the way, the prices are cheaper than at our airports in Sochi or Tyumen. The airport itself is beautiful, everything is thought out inside, of course it may have coincided, but I did not see any standing or sitting on bags)) everyone had a place to wait for their flight.
I was only 9 minutes late for my flight.
Due to the weather conditions, I did not have time to arrive in Astana earlier. The taxi driver drove as fast as he could to the airport, taking into account the whole situation. I still had time for boarding. A few minutes later, they informed me that the flight was closed, although I had checked in online.
The scanner couldn't recognize the barcode of my electronic boarding pass, so it was sent to the information desk. The information desk sent it back to the staff who let passengers board. They called each other back and forth.
Thanks to the help desk, I wrote several contact numbers where you can contact. 2 out of 4 answered. Are there really no exceptions for such cases when there is a snowstorm and the highways are closed, or are there any options or suggestions??? Unfortunately, not all cities have international flights.
It's a great airport. There is a place to rest while waiting for a long time (sleep capsule). Dutifrey. Budget parking spaces at the airport building.
It is not difficult to get there.
Everything is fine. I'm used to a lot of inspections at the entrance, but here everything is simple - I came and well done, the inspection is only in the boarding hall after check-in. Although, in our lives, it may not be very safe)))
There is not a large abundance of cafes and shops in the departure area of international destinations, which is rather a plus, because there is more space for benches to sit waiting with coffee from a self-service kiosk. There is also no crowding in the check-in area if the staff at the check-in desks do not sleep in one shoe. :) And most often they don't sleep. :D In general, everything is compact and quite cozy. In the business lounge, departure from the international airlines terminal, a review from a friend, which is quite modest. The logistics of passage to customs and baggage claim are comfortable and do not take much time. A special bonus is the excellent view of the runway from the departure lounge.
I liked the airport: modern, clean, not far from the city, an LRT line is being built, now either by bus or taxi at humane prices. We were in the Air Astana business lounge, very dignified: polite girls, delicious food, snacks, sweets, coffee, tea, juices. From alcohol: beer. It's probably not worth writing about free Wi-Fi anymore, the default option. It's a pity there was no view of the runway, it's always nice to watch the movement of planes at the airport.
Among the good airports. Cleanly, all the scoreboards convey information quite informatively. There are many places where you can have a snack. For people using contact lenses, an automatic machine with lens solutions in a convenient package of up to 100ml has been installed. It is located in the transition to the international terminal. In general, only positive emotions from the airport.
A good, convenient airport. The only thing I don't know is whether to attribute the pros or cons in the waiting area before departure to almost no cafes or shops. Otherwise, it's great.
A comfortable, small airport, the passage of customs control is very prompt, no more than 15 minutes. There is a small souvenir shop inside the waiting room, you can pay in cash in rubles.
A positive impression of visiting the airport. Efficient service organization, friendly staff and cleanliness. Convenient waiting areas and a variety of services make the flight waiting time comfortable. Excellent infrastructure for travelers. All together, it creates a positive experience before departure or upon arrival.
A big plus is that it is very small)). It is not possible to get lost. A good currency exchange office. Of course, the price tags are terrible for everything, as in principle at many airports. There are always places in the parking lot if you arrive for a short time, and if you want to leave for a long time, it is better to park your car in the city parking lot and take a taxi. Much more profitable.
