Clyde1998 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 What are people looking at in regards to flights to Kazakhstan (I'm not 100% sure if I'll go, but I'm looking at the moment). Based on what I can see there's at least one stop in a third country for each airline: Aeroflot-Russian Airlines - Sheremetyevo International Airport, near Moscow LOT-Polish Airlines - Warsaw Chopin Airport Turkish Airlines - Istanbul Ataturk Airport Lufthansa - Frankfurt Airport Aeroflot are the cheapest from what I can see, but I've never heard of the airline.

euan2020 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 depends where the game is - KLM certainly used to fly to Kazkhstan - well not now https://www.klm.com/travel/kz_en/campaigns/klm_flights_stop.htm Airr Astana is the national airline owned by the presidents daughter, although they certainly sed to be pricey I seen one flight quoted going via Minsk n skyscanner code share flights available through Paris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan2020 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 depending on where the game is - there is a train from Moscow - one of the guys at work used to catch it - or certainly his russian wifes (Kazakh) family used to take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that the game will be in Astana too. They did play Denmark in Almaty, but that appears to be a one-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the flight via Minsk with Belavia? Edited December 2, 2018 by Clyde1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SY Cove Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Aeroflot are a good bet for people travelling from Scotland, flights via London then Moscow are roughly 600 quid, going through Moscow Sheremetyevo airport is easy enough and if you travel all the way with Aeroflot you wouldnt need to pick up your bags to re-check in so no visa required Air Astana are a decent airline, if you are not bothered about going to the San Marino game you can get flights quite cheap at the moment, as an example on Sky Scanner just now, flights going Glasgow - London - Astana with BA & Air Astana on the 19th of March and returning on Saturday the 23rd are coming in around 480 quid Anyone thinking of doing the double header against Kazakhstan and San Marino, try a multi-stop option flight with Aeroflot, as an example flights on Sky Scanner from Glasgow - London - Moscow - Astana departing on the 19th of March then Astana - Moscow - Venice on Saturday the 23rd currently comes in around 560 quid Getting back to Scotland from Italy could get an Easy Jet or BA for less than 100 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Hibs Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Was going to get the Aeroflot flight, but quite frankly I sh@t myself. I'm a bad enough flyer, let alone knowing I'm on an Aeroflot plane. Saying that, I doubt Air Astana is any better (which I have booked) Air Astana £554 Heathrow to Astana 19 Mar 17:15 - 05:45 ( 20 Mar) [Non-Stop] Astana to Bologna (via Frankfurt) 22 Mar 16:10 - 21:55 More expensive than some other flights, but less time fannying about and decent times. Planning to spend a week in Italy, so no rush to book flights back to UK. If game is Almaty, then meh.....there is a high speed train and cheap plane tickets between the two cities.

saintsparky Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Heathrow to Astana via Istanbul on Turkish - £350 return Then Heathrow to Bologna on BA for £94 return Bargain!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bunnet Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 The Turkish Airlines route seems a good deal...5 hrs time difference.... Still be quicker than Albania... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Booked as far as Kyiv, then wait for venue to be announced (99% sure it will be Astana, but its a costly gamble to make), with double header I am binning San Marino as done it in 2000, and will be missing the Russia game, so doing this one.

Ormond Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Cheapest return from Scotland to Astana and back is around the 470 pounds mark. I’m in Scotland then so seriously thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
