KL: HNL-ALA (Almaty) 564 USD a/i

This popped up from farecompare.
Haven't researched it too thoroughly, but it is pricing on ITA and Orbitz for, eg, 2-Mar-10 to 9-Mar-10, on a mixture of NW and KL flights.

Lots of miles (22k r/t ?)

Fare basis: VLSLC5

HNL ALA

One of the oddest mileage run's i've seen posted, I admit I've always wanted to go to Almaty to ride their new Talgo train.

Seriously! This is an oddball, but I like. Congrats on the find/posting. IT makes me wish I flew KLM

Yeah really strange MR opportunity and a good opportunity to go to a somewhat remote place in the world. I'm seeing it in the low 500's from PDX, SFO, LAX, MSP, LAS, SLC, PHX...probably other west coast gateways.

For American Passport holders visa is required $40 single entry Information

Wow, pretty decent.

Nice find!

Still on NWA & Orbitz, at least for MSP-ALA ~$510 or more.

I actually flew from Kazakhstan to Honolulu last year, spread over two days (although from TSE, not ALA). I can attest that it is one exhausting trip!
