A very good Istanbul to Astana fare, especially because it is direct and includes checked baggage
This is a strong fare because Istanbul to Astana is available from around €323 return, with Turkish Airlines direct flights and 23 kg checked baggage included.
The schedule is also one of the strongest parts of the deal. The outbound leaves Istanbul in the afternoon and arrives in Astana in the evening, while the return leaves Astana in the morning and arrives back in Istanbul early afternoon. That is much more comfortable than awkward overnight or very early departures.

Where to stay in Astana
For our sample trip from 16/09 to 22/09, Astana looks very reasonable for accommodation compared with many European capitals. On a sample hotel search, we found well-rated 4 and 5-star hotels from around €90 per night.
That works out at approximately €45 per person per night if two people are sharing a room, which makes the total trip cost much more attractive. This is one of the reasons why this deal can work well as a comfortable city break rather than just a cheap flight.
For the best experience, compare hotels around the city centre, Nurzhol Boulevard, the Bayterek Tower area or locations with easy taxi access to the main sights. Astana is a modern, spread-out city, so a good location can save time and make the trip smoother, especially for a shorter stay.
