NURSULTAN AIRPORT NQZ
In 2022, right during the festival, Astana returned its former name. We were very happy about that! But the name of the Airport remained the same - Nursultan Airport. Some airline ticket search engines still show the old city name.
Our airport is not complicated and small in size.
There is an international flight terminal T1 and domestic flights T2.

Here you can find apartments around the city. A slightly more complicated option and less reliable than booking, but still not bad. It is more difficult to arrange a reservation in advance. The maximum you can try is one month before the event. You will most likely have to contact the owners manually via WhatsApp. But there are good and inexpensive options for daily apartments.
