SY Cove Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Recommend trying to organize an airport transfer with your hotel of choice for the trip, not been to Astana but in Atyrau airport if you try to get a taxi yourself from the driver's hanging about they always ask for 4 or 5 times the normal rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 My hotel in Astana have offered €15 for a airport transfer, which compared to what I have asked in other places I felt was very reasonable (and as I arrive at 3am, saves messing around when I am ready for my bed).

WeeJohnny Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We're on that Tuesday flight from Heathrow too. Air Astana have really good reviews so here's hoping. Back on the Saturday direct flight back to Heathrow - pricey at £560 return but no fannying around. The 5.40 am arrival is reminding me of the Georgia game - pointless having a hotel at that time so that called for a breakfast beer on arrival. Then another...… 6 hour time difference - gonna be weird both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaux_2 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 There is a Ural Airlines flight from Moscow DME to Rimini which is the closest airport to San Marino, works out at about 130 euros per person. Still 2 flights to get from astana to moscow DME though, all the direct flights fly in to moscow SVO and travel between DME and SVO is more hassle than its worth from what i've read. At least its just a taxi when you land in Italy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave85 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Anyone still looking for flights could do worse than flying with LOT for £346 (this is £15 cheaper if you leave two days earlier): 20.3.19 LHR 18:15 - 21:55 WAW 20.3.19 WAW 22:50 - 08:50 (+1) TSE 23.3.19 TSE 13:55 - 14:20 WAW (23.3.19 WAW 15:30 - 17:20 LHR) Obviously you need to add on about £50 for the flight from Glasgow/Edinburgh down to Heathrow. It is possibly a bit risky with the connection in Warsaw and the fact you only land on the morning of the match, 12 hours before kick off, but it is still an option. They should hold the flight to Astana if the Heathrow-Warsaw flight is late, especially as there may well be a few on it. Astana is cheap enough so if you have the leave, there's no harm in going two days earlier. If you want to go on to San Marino, just don't get the last flight from Warsaw to Heathrow (this only works if you just have hand baggage as your checked in luggage will be checked through to Heathrow). Ignore that flight, and then get this Wizzair flight from Warsaw to Milan Bergamo (currently only £20): 23.3.19 WAW 17:55 - 20:00 BGY It's cheap and easy to get from Bergamo down to Rimini (about €30) the following day, albeit you only get to Rimini about 2pm, which is close enough for a 6pm kick off. Still, it's not a bad route at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
