Why send a parcel Almaty — Astana with a traveler
Almaty is the country’s largest city and its business centre, at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains. Astana is the capital, home to ministries, government agencies and the headquarters of many companies. The cities are about 970 km apart as the crow flies: the trip overland takes many hours, so many people fly.
From Almaty people usually send what is easier to buy or pick up there: orders from local shops, original documents from offices and universities, gifts and belongings left with family. In Astana parcels go to civil servants, head-office staff, students of the capital’s universities and families who have moved to the capital.
How to agree with a Almaty — Astana traveler
It works simply: a traveler publishes a trip from Almaty to Astana, 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.
Trips appear on different days, so start looking early. If nothing fits, “Notify me about a new flight” will remind you when someone publishes the Almaty — Astana route.
Luggage rules on a Almaty — Astana flight
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.
Where to hand over the parcel in Almaty and collect it in Astana
Swap contacts and agree on what to do if the flight is rescheduled. 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.
Astana winters bring hard frost and wind, so agree to meet indoors: at the airport, the station or a shopping centre. As soon as the recipient has the parcel, the traveler enters the confirmation code, which tells JetJoin the delivery is done.
