How to get from Aktau to Beijing: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights between Aktau and Beijing — the itinerary is always built through a transit airport.

The basic option is a connection in Almaty: Air Astana, FlyArystan and SCAT fly there from Aktau, and Air Astana and Air China continue to Beijing. When the timetables line up the trip works out with a single connection; on other dates two-stop itineraries are possible, including via other Chinese cities.

One connecting point usually means less time in transit, but not always the best price: itineraries with a longer layover are often cheaper. Compare the options in the search and allow enough time for the transfer. Please note: when flying with a connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the country of the layover.
