The most common option is a connection in Istanbul: Turkish Airlines and KLM fly there from Amsterdam, while Turkish Airlines and Air Astana continue to Almaty. The second convenient routing is via Frankfurt, from where Lufthansa and Air Astana operate to Almaty.

A short layover cuts the total travel time but leaves less of a buffer if a flight is delayed; a longer connection is safer and often cheaper. Compare the options by final price and total duration. If your connection is in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
