When the Aktau — Almaty route comes in handy
Aktau is a city on the Caspian Sea, the centre of Mangystau Region, with a sea port and oil and gas companies. Almaty is the country’s largest city and its business centre, at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains. The cities are about 2,070 km apart as the crow flies, one of the longest routes within the country, where a plane is far faster than a train.
From Aktau people send documents, belongings of rotation workers heading home, and gifts from the coast. In Almaty parcels are awaited by students, specialists who moved to the big city for work, and relatives people visit for the holidays.
How to find a traveler from Aktau to Almaty
It works simply: a traveler publishes a trip from Aktau to Almaty, you find it on JetJoin and offer to send a parcel for your own reward. All the details (what exactly, when and where) are agreed before the meetup.
On a long route the traveler may have a connection; check this in advance so you know when the parcel will reach Almaty. If there is no trip yet, turn on “Notify me about a new flight”.
A domestic flight: which items you can send
Although no border is crossed, the parcel goes through airport screening. Check electronics with batteries, liquids, aerosols and sharp objects against the specific airline’s rules and tell the traveler about them in advance.
Upload photos and videos of the contents and packaging to JetJoin so the traveler knows what they are carrying before the meetup. Pack so the parcel can be opened at screening and closed again, and put documents in a stiff folder.
Meetup, handover and delivery confirmation
Swap contacts and agree on what to do if the flight is rescheduled. Aktau airport is outside the city, and Aktau addresses are given by microdistrict; confirm the microdistrict and building number if the traveler will go into town.
Almaty is big and a cross-town trip at rush hour can take over an hour, so arrange to meet near the airport or a metro station on the traveler’s way. As soon as the recipient has the parcel, the traveler enters the confirmation code, which tells JetJoin the delivery is done.
The Aktau — Almaty handover price and payment
