Sitzplan Boeing 757-200 (752) Air Astana

Checkin opened three hours prior to takeoff. Excellent smooth service. I had emailed a seating request for bulkhead the day before, and was given exactly the seat I requested. Boarding was exactly on time, as was takeoff and landing. Service was a little brusque but it did what was required. The meal was very good - one of the few times in Economy I could eat everything. Have been flying Air Astana for 30 months and never joined NOMAD Club. I will do so now, and consider the airline for more of my long haul flights.

Apparently KC has more than one layout for seats on B752. The one which I took had 6 seats on row 12. The load was light so I moved from 13A ( which was a regular seat) to 12A. The 13A had a rather decent leg space in any case. The seats are quite comfortable for a 6 hour day flight - much better than the slimline variants. The food was not so good, but the service of the FA's was perfect.

I flew back to Almaty in March 2013 with the Air Astana economy class. Overall I give them a 5.5 (Ok). I hardly slept in the economy class seat.The good thing about the Air Astana economy class is that they gie amenity kits (it includes eye mask, socks and ear plugs. In economy class they have overhead TVs. This time I didn't sleep through dinner, they gave a choice of either chicken, beef or vegitarian lasagna. I chose the beef. It was quite delicious :-)

I flew to Bangkok in March 2013 with the new Air Astana business class. Overall I give them a 6.5 (Quite Good). Their business class is funny because it feels like you're almost lying on the ground! Slept most of the time (even with their weird business class). The good thing about business class is that you get an iPad which has a fiew choises of movies, tv shows, music and some other stuff on it. Now the bad thing was that the choises were really pathetic, so that's why I gave them a rating of 2/5 (Poor) on the entertainment rating. I expect some more choises than what they gave, especially in business class. In economy class they have overhead TVs. I slept threw breakfast, but the after take-off snack was not so impressive (I think the breakfast would have been an omelet anyway).

Well kept aircraft. Plenty room to move. I was travelling with my 21 months old daughter and received great help and understanding from staf.
