How to get from Berlin to Karaganda: your flight options

No non-stop flights link Berlin and Karaganda, so the itinerary always consists of several legs.

The classic option is to fly to Istanbul, on to Almaty and then from Almaty to Karaganda, with the final leg taking under two hours. Another practical approach is to fly into Astana and continue overland: the cities are about 220 km apart and are linked by trains and buses.

The Almaty routing keeps you in the air the whole way, which is easier with checked baggage, while flying into Astana is sometimes faster and cheaper but adds a ground transfer. As this is an international connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the country where you change planes.
