When my preparations to return to Kazakhstan were settled, I booked
my tickets from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to Almaty, with Air
Astana.
Air Astana staff upgraded me to business class during my first
flight back to Almaty.
I am in business class on my first Air Astana flight to Almary
from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
I took around 12-20 Air Astana flights per year when I lived in
Almaty.
The famous Boeing 757 from Air Astana would leave Almaty on
Friday evening, land in Bangkok, and finally, make its way to Ho
Chi Minh City. It then flew back to Almaty and land Saturday
afternoon.
The route from Almaty to New Dehli, India, flew over the Tien
Shan Mountains in Kyrgyzstan. In winter, it was beautiful.

My Vietnamese friend in Saigon was in charge of bookings for Air

this shirt in New Dehli.

Reflection
I never had a bad experience with Air Astana. I hope to fly with
them again in the future.
