I rarely post, but my experience in Pavlodar was so unique I figured I'd share. I would guess not many have had the opportunity to fly into PWQ, particularly in December.

Spent 5 days in Pavlodar, temp never exceeded 0F and lows at night were in the -20 to -25F range. Amazingly, slept with my window cracked as the hotel was absurdly warm with no way to control the temp (I asked, temp is set centrally for entire hotel).

Left from domestic terminal in Almaty (which is under renovation and a COMPLETE mess, traffic wise). Flight on FlyArystan to/from PWQ was about 100 minutes. Low cost airline but new-ish plane and plenty comfortable. Flight about 95% full, return flight about 80% full.

I'm no author so, just pics with commentary.

I have a lot more photos of Pavlodar and Almaty if anyone interested. I tried to generally stick with the "aviation" photos here.
