How to get from Atyrau to Tokyo: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights from Atyrau to Tokyo, so the itinerary consists of at least two flights.

The most predictable option is via Istanbul: Air Astana flies there from Atyrau and Turkish Airlines continues to Tokyo. You can also route via Almaty or Astana and connect through major Middle Eastern or East Asian hubs, which means two stops on the way.

A single connection is almost always faster, but double-connection itineraries can be considerably cheaper — compare total travel time against price. Do check whether a transit visa is required in the country where you connect, and allow enough time if the connection involves changing airports.
