Almaty & Astana: €1,237 Lufthansa Business Class from Prague to Kazakhstan

Star Alliance founding member Lufthansa is offering a business class deal from Prague to Kazakhstan for as little as €1,237 (~CZK 30,156). These fares include two seven-hour flights in a lie-flat seat, lounge access, and other amenities. Departures are available in September and October 2025, with Almaty showing way better availability.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest prices for trips of up to 28 days. It will direct you to Skyscanner with your preselected flight dates. From there, you can book with Lufthansa or check what OTAs have to offer.

A Lufthansa or Lufthansa CityLine jet takes you from Prague to Frankfurt. There you will board a Lufthansa A330-300, which takes you to Kazakhstan. These planes feature Lufthansa’s classic business class product: Lie-flat-seats in a 2-2-2 seating pattern with little to no extra privacy. The airline serves Almaty and Astana in a triangular flight, meaning you will have at least one stop on either the in- or outbound flight.

While the direct route traverses Russian airspace, Lufthansa takes a more southern route and avoids flying over Russia or Ukraine, resulting in an even longer-lasting business class experience for you.

Search & Book

The fare rules don’t state any restrictions, except for a minimum stay requirement of six nights. Departures are available in September and October 2025

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Lufthansa’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, offers a mix of futuristic architecture and cultural landmarks, including the Bayterek Tower, Khan Shatyr shopping center, and the Hazrat Sultan Mosque. The local currency is the Kazakhstani tenge (KZT), and while prices are generally moderate compared to Western standards, costs can vary depending on the area. Summers are hot and dry, while winters are long, cold, and snowy, so packing appropriately is essential. English isn’t widely spoken, so having some basic Russian or Kazakh phrases can be helpful.
