There is no non-stop service on this route, and no single-stop option from Barcelona either.
The standard pattern is a trip via Istanbul and Almaty: Turkish Airlines or Vueling take you from Barcelona to Istanbul, Turkish Airlines or Air Astana continue to Almaty, and a FlyArystan domestic flight brings you to Karaganda. In some seasons connections via Shymkent or Aktau also work, as SCAT flies from there to Karaganda.
The options differ not only in price but also in total travel time and how comfortable the layovers are — compare them in the search. Remember that a two-stop itinerary needs extra time, and check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
