How to get from Barcelona to Astana: your flight options
There are no non-stop flights between Barcelona and Astana in the current timetable, so the itinerary is always built around a stopover.
The most convenient connections run through Yerevan, Istanbul, Podgorica, Prague and Belgrade: a European or regional carrier operates the first leg and an airline serving Astana operates the second. The stopover takes place in a third country, so check in advance whether you need a transit visa and what the rules are at the connecting airport.
Combinations differ in price and in total duration: a short layover shortens the journey but calls for tighter planning, while a longer one is often cheaper. You can compare the options on both counts in a single search.
