How to get from Alanya to Karaganda: your flight options
There is no non-stop flight from Alanya to Karaganda — note that Karaganda has no service from Turkey at all, not even seasonal.
The most logical option is a connection in Almaty: in summer FlyArystan operates from Gazipasa-Alanya Airport to Almaty, and from Almaty it flies to Karaganda year-round. Outside the season travellers usually use the Istanbul hub: Turkish Airlines from Alanya to Istanbul (IST) or Pegasus to Istanbul Sabiha (SAW), then on to Kazakhstan and a connection to Karaganda. Another option is via Shymkent, from where SCAT flies to Karaganda.
Routing via Almaty is usually faster but is not available all year; Istanbul routings offer more dates and departures, though total travel time increases. As this is an international trip with a connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
