Ashley WilliamsOctober 22, 2012Beware of people pretending to be customs officials offering to help fill in a Russian departure form and then demand money. Also taxi scam u charging double the cost. Get receipt before u travel.
Very strange, but there are no free wifi at the airport. It is very uncomfortable. Free wifi only for Megafon users.
Bakhtiyar KJuly 18, 2013One of the most inconvenient airports i've ever seen, registration is long, takes forever to get your luggage & worst of all, right after you leave it you'll encounter hords of annoying taxi drivers
Thanks God for beatiful airport and great service comparing to the Dushanbe airport! ;)

Nilgun Aydogan TelekinelogistSeptember 13, 2015Do not take Uzbek Airlines. If you do, good luck with the service especially if you are to transfer...
RyanSeptember 19, 2012A disappointment for planespotters/aviation photographers, No photography of planes. Guys with huge hats will chase you down.
Maximilian FoedingerNovember 9, 2014Mind the restaurant in the departure hall before check in for food... Had a solanka - mediocre - espresso was acceptable
Yegor VolovikFebruary 2, 2013At the departure terminal... Beware of half-drunk guys eager to help foreigners with baggage and declarations... No idea what it is they are after but very strange...
Roy, Astana international airport is hundred miles away. It's Almaty!
John DoeJanuary 16, 2015Pretty bad exactly as per people's reviews. Free Wi-Fi is available me though
Smoking area for domestic flights is at 1st floor. Gate 6
- Check the compensation about delay. 3% ticket price per hour by Kazakhstan law.
Zhan BeniaminovMarch 31, 2011Unreal prices for everything inside the airport !!! Fu...ng service !!! Stupid personal !!!
- RyanSeptember 19, 2012Be careful about ppl approaching you asking abt your flights (before customs), they will make fake phone calls, 'confirm' your flight and then ask money. Don't fall for this scam.
Neden memurlar asık suratlı ? Wieso sind die Beamten so unfreundlich ? why the clerks are unfriendly ?
Domestic arrival replaced. Now it'l take longer to reach car park.
AlimaApril 12, 2013The airport is soooo uncomfortable, so user unfriendly...seems you are at the bazar. They should manage those bugging taxi drivers!
- RyanSeptember 19, 2012Beware of scams at departure area. People will pretend to 'confirm' your flight, and then ask money. Just walk away.
Erman ÇatıMay 28, 2014Be careful about guys trying to take your bag from your taxi, carry for 20 metres and asking 1000 tenge. Shit!
Bulat ZzzApril 27, 2013If its possible, tru NOT TO FLY "Air Astana" airlines. My flight to HK was postponed to +5 h!!! Now it's being delayed +2 h more!!! DISGUSTING!SHAME!
Al YnotJune 9, 2013Don't buy overpriced water at the bar. Instead proceed to duty free store, its much cheaper there.
Steven SchwankertJune 27, 2014This airport has the most ridiculously overpriced transit lounge I've ever visited.
