How to get from Berlin to Atyrau: your flight options
There is no non-stop flight from Berlin to Atyrau, so the itinerary always runs through a transfer city.
The quickest connections go via Istanbul: Berlin has daily flights there, and onward services to Atyrau depart from both Istanbul airports. Alternatives are a transfer in Baku, less than two hours flying time from Atyrau, or a routing via Almaty or Astana if a stop in Kazakhstan suits your plans.
The Istanbul option usually wins on total travel time, Baku on the length of the second leg, while Almaty or Astana can be cheaper and convenient if you continue elsewhere in the country. As this is an international connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the country where you change planes.
