Latest airport review
We've just came back form Nur Sultan and like to suggest two edits:
- You can not pay the driver on the bus anymore, payment can be done only by card or app. If you don't have mobile internet connection or you're in the city only for few hours and don't want to buy a special card, you can ask one of the locals to pay for you in the app and give him the cash (that's what we did).
- It's worth noting that there's luggage storage at the airport. It cost around 1800T for few hours.
