Cheap flights from Kyiv (KBP) - to Almaty (ALA)

Serious, responsible and respected. Almaty is about mixed culture and the beauty of nature around. And although the city lost its capital status in 1997, it retained the greatness of the Tian Shan and friendly locals.

How to move

The airport is located 13 km from the city center.

The bus is the most convenient way to get to Almaty. And here you have many options, since it all depends on the desired point of arrival:

— No. 92  — runs from 5:30 am to 10:30 pm. Has a short driving interval, so you don't have to wait longer than 5 minutes

— No. 86 and No. 41  — heading to the residential areas of the city

— No. 3  — for those arriving at night. Runs from 10:00 pm to 6 am. However, it has a long interval  — prepare to wait about 40 minutes
