How to get from Karaganda to Sochi: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights from Karaganda to Sochi, so the itinerary consists of two flights.

The main connecting point is Moscow: Aeroflot flies there from Karaganda, and Aeroflot, Nordwind and Pobeda continue to Sochi. Kazakhstani hubs are an alternative — for example a flight to Almaty or Astana with a further connection, while in summer Azimuth operates seasonal flights to Sochi from Atyrau.

A Moscow connection is usually the fastest in total travel time, while combinations via Kazakhstan can be cheaper. If your tickets are issued as separate bookings, allow time to collect and re-check your baggage, and if you connect in a third country, check whether a transit visa is required.
