How to get from Berlin to Astana: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights between Berlin and Astana in the current timetable, so the whole itinerary is built around a single transit airport.

The shortest connections run through Yerevan, Tbilisi, Warsaw and Baku, while the routings business travellers know best go via Frankfurt and Istanbul. 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.

The options differ in price and total duration: a short layover shortens the journey but leaves less margin if a flight is delayed, while a longer one often costs less. You can compare both scenarios in a single search.
