How to get from Atyrau to London: your flight options
There is currently no non-stop flight between Atyrau and London, so a direct option is not available.
One connection is the most practical choice. Via Istanbul: Air Astana takes you from Atyrau to Istanbul Airport (IST), where Turkish Airlines operates frequent services to Heathrow and Gatwick. Via Sabiha Gokcen: Pegasus flies from Atyrau, and onward to London Stansted with Pegasus or AJet. Via Baku: Air Astana and Azerbaijan Airlines cover the first leg, while Azerbaijan Airlines continues to Heathrow and Gatwick. Another option runs via Almaty, from where Air Astana flies non-stop to Heathrow.
The Istanbul routing is usually the quickest thanks to frequent departures and short layovers; the Sabiha Gokcen option is often the cheapest; and going via Almaty suits travellers who prefer a single long international leg. Compare the total journey time, the price and the baggage rules.
