UK to Kazakhstan
Hi, has anyone travelled from UK to Kazakhstan recently and have any tips on routes? I'm looking to fly at a peak travel time (England game out there next June) so direct flights aren't a great option - I'm happy to be creative, but want it as cheap as possible!
Also, do any Air Astana (or other) crew have any ideas on whether the game will be played in Almaty or the new national stadium in Astana?
Thanks in advance for any answers to such a random request!

I found a website saying it'll be Almaty.
Here are some ways to get there:

If you are flying to Almaty, KLM is the best way to go. Their planes are sparkling new (a332), schiphol a great transit place and the fares are relatively low (flew aug 1, 07). They also offer direct service instead of going via Astana (LH) and Ekatirnburg (BMI). Can't tell you about other airlines, but again I recommend KLM.

Forget bmi; the best fares are with Lufthansa..period. Their flights are good and I don't mind the connections in FRA. Its going through the big toilet called LHR that is the worst bit. After that, Kazakhstan is a massive improvement.
