it's nice to know that one-way ticket Bratislava - Almaty 2 costs 196,90 EUR
I will check the price of reservations in the train station.
I'm aware of the Kazakh on-line purchasing system pcentre.kz, but most probably it only accepts cards issued in Kazakhstan. I managed to get through all the necessary steps but eventually my payment was declined.
According to the cashier, reservations are not available for either of the domestic trains or the Moscow train...
But if it's possoble in Russia, it should be also possible in Ukraine, e.g. in Chop?
Yes, but the problem is that in Ukraine "platskart" ticket Aktobe-Alma-Ata will cost more than in Russia* - 556 UAH for "platskart" (for trains #24 and #34) and 508 UAH for #380. While "kupe" will be app. the same - 871 UAH (for trains #24 and #34) and 798 UAH respectively for train #380.
Could you please tell me where I can check those prices in UAH online?
QuoteCould you please tell me where I can check those prices in UAH online?Ok, no need to answer, I just discovered the magic checkbox on E-kvytok site
I just checked with UZ e-kvytok site, which shows only 6 free places in Ljuks category for 29.8. for brutal price of 4127 UAH.
If Ukraine is included in MPT tariff, is it possible to buy ticket from Kazakhstan to China in Ukraine?
I already invested in Russian transit visa and platskart ticket Kharkiv - Aktobe. And my motivation is that I really want to make the entire journey overland
but I think I'm not going to take the risk of being stuck in western Kazakhstan.
