Earlier this week, LOT Polish revealed flights from its Warsaw Chopin hub to Almaty. Almaty is not Central Asia’s most populous city—the Uzbek capital of Tashkent is, and the carrier already flies there. However, it is number one in Kazakhstan.

When LOT Polish’s never-before-served route starts next year, it will become the Star Alliance member’s third destination in Central Asia. It will join Tashkent (flights began in 2024) and Nur-Sultan (2017), which is Kazakhstan’s capital. Timed at up to 7h 20m, Almaty will…
