When the Petropavl — Almaty route comes in handy
Petropavl is the northernmost regional centre of the country, on the Ishim River near the border with Russia. Almaty is the country’s largest city and its business centre, at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains. The cities are roughly 1,410 km apart in a straight line: the overland trip takes a day or more, so sending a parcel with someone who is flying is the fastest option.
From Petropavl people send documents, home preserves, warm clothes and gifts for children and relatives in other cities. In Almaty parcels are awaited by students, specialists who moved to the big city for work, and relatives people visit for the holidays.

A domestic flight: which items you can send
Documents, clothes, books, gifts and small electronics are what people usually send within the country. Food is fine if it is well packed and won’t leak, but remember that liquids in cabin baggage are limited and perishables may not last until the recipient gets them.
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 Petropavl and collect it in Almaty
Agree on the time and place of the handover in advance and leave time for the journey. Winters in Petropavl are long and cold, so it is better to meet at the airport or somewhere warm indoors in the centre.
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. At the meetup the recipient gives the confirmation code from JetJoin; the traveler enters it, and only then is the deal closed.
