Air Astana Economy Class: Almaty - Dushanbe

Air Astana
Economy Class
KC Economy Class Ticket
KC131: ALA-FRU (Almaty to Bishkek)
24 April 2019
Airbus A320 (Two Class Configuration)
P4-KBG
Seat 12C

Departure: 10:40AM
Arrival: 11:30AM


Going back to the airport, I used Yandex.Taxi again and it worked great. Arriving at the airport, check-in, immigration and security were a breeze. Took no more than 10 minutes to get airside. Unfortunately, we had a 30 minute delay for this flight, as the crew was late arriving at the airport. Not very impressive, I must confess.

In any event, this flight was a bit longer than my previous KC flights, so they served a snack. I had my usual seat 12C again. As before, I had the entire row to myself. The flight was otherwise uneventful and we soon landed at Dushanbe. The Dushanbe arrival process was fairly smooth, as I'd been granted an e-visa in advance. I later learned, I was supposed to complete an arrival card in duplicate to be returned on departure, but not doing so didn't seem to cause me any issue when leaving.

The departure would be an absolute nightmare, but I'll get to that later.
