How to get from Aktobe to Yekaterinburg: your flight options

There are currently no non-stop flights between Aktobe and Yekaterinburg — the whole journey is flown with a connection.

The most logical routing is via Astana: Air Astana, FlyArystan, Vietjet Qazaqstan and SCAT serve the Kazakh capital, and Red Wings continues to Yekaterinburg from there. The alternative is a connection in Almaty, from where Red Wings also flies to Yekaterinburg, although that itinerary adds a considerable detour.

A connection in Astana is usually shorter overall and makes more geographical sense, while the Almaty routing is worth considering when no suitable connection is available for your date. Compare the options by travel time, price and how comfortable the layover is.

When flying with a connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country and allow enough time between flights.
