How to get from Karaganda to Paris: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights between Karaganda and Paris: departures from Karaganda serve only Almaty, Moscow, Novosibirsk and a few Kazakh cities.

The most convenient routing is via Almaty and Istanbul: the FlyArystan flight to Almaty takes about 1 hour 35 minutes, Turkish Airlines and Air Astana fly Almaty — Istanbul in around 6 hours 10 minutes, and Turkish Airlines covers Istanbul — Paris in roughly 3 hours 40 minutes. Another option goes via Almaty and Frankfurt: Air Astana and Lufthansa operate Almaty — Frankfurt, and Lufthansa and Air France fly on from Frankfurt to Paris. A third scenario is to travel overland to Astana (about 200 km; there is no air link between the two cities) and start your journey from its airport.

Istanbul normally offers more flights and a wider choice of departure times, while Frankfurt lets you stay within one alliance with through-checked baggage. Because the connection takes place abroad, check in advance whether you need a transit visa and leave enough time between flights.
