When the Astana — Aktau route comes in handy
Astana is the capital, home to ministries, government agencies and the headquarters of many companies. Aktau is a city on the Caspian Sea, the centre of Mangystau Region, with a sea port and oil and gas companies. The cities are about 1,730 km apart as the crow flies, one of the longest routes within the country, where a plane is far faster than a train.
From Astana people often send documents issued by agencies in the capital, work papers from head offices, and gifts and things for family. In Aktau parcels are awaited by oil, gas and port company staff, rotation workers and their families.
Finding a Astana — Aktau trip
It works simply: a traveler publishes a trip from Astana to Aktau, 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.
A trip from Astana to Aktau may include a connection, so ask the traveler for the exact arrival time. If there are no suitable trips, “Notify me about a new flight” will tell you when they appear.
What to put in the parcel and what to leave at home
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.
Describe the contents specifically: not “a gift” but “a wool sweater and two books”. Photograph the items before packing and upload the photos and videos to JetJoin. Wrap fragile things in several layers and state the weight honestly.
Meetup, handover and delivery confirmation
Swap contacts and agree on what to do if the flight is rescheduled. Astana winters bring hard frost and wind, so agree to meet indoors: at the airport, the station or a shopping centre.
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. At the meetup the recipient gives the confirmation code from JetJoin; the traveler enters it, and only then is the deal closed.
