How to get from Frankfurt to Almaty: travel options

A direct flight is the fastest option: you depart from Frankfurt Airport and land in Almaty about 7 hours 5 minutes later with no intermediate stops.

Connecting itineraries run through major hubs, above all Istanbul. They take longer but widen the choice of dates and departure times.

If the nonstop flight is sold out on the date you need, or a connecting fare is noticeably cheaper, a one-stop itinerary can be a sensible compromise. When connecting in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
