SY Cove 2 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wanderer 23 Report post 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 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am on my Jack Jones on that flight and hotel as well. Apparently official airport taxis are 4000 local currency which is about £8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vaux_2 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperDave85 0 Report post Posted February 5 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
