How to get from Amsterdam to Astana: your flight options

There are currently no non-stop flights between Amsterdam and Astana, so the whole route is flown with a connection.

Most passengers choose a connection in Istanbul: Turkish Airlines and KLM fly there from Amsterdam, while Turkish Airlines and Air Astana continue to Astana. The second convenient option is a stop in Frankfurt, from where Lufthansa and Air Astana operate to Astana.

A short layover saves time but leaves less of a buffer if a flight is delayed; a long 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.
