How to get from Berlin to Aktau: your flight options

There is no non-stop flight from Berlin to Aktau, so the itinerary runs through a transfer city.

The simplest option is a transfer in Istanbul: Berlin has daily flights to Sabiha Gokcen, and onward services run to Aktau. Connections in Baku, less than an hour and a half of flying time from Aktau, and in Tbilisi are popular too; if you are touring several Kazakh cities, routing via Almaty or Astana is convenient.

The Istanbul and Baku options are usually shorter in total travel time, while Almaty or Astana makes sense if you plan a stop inside the country. Because the connection is international, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the country where you change planes.
