Karaganda — Tashkent flight schedule
There is no non-stop Karaganda to Tashkent flight in the timetable, so the trip consists of two legs. The most convenient option is to fly from Sary-Arka Airport to Almaty and continue to Tashkent from there: the leg to Almaty takes about 1 hour 40 minutes and the Almaty — Tashkent flight roughly the same.
The number of options and the length of layovers change by day of the week and by season, so it is easiest to check specific dates in the Freedom Travel search. Fares are dynamic: the closer the departure date and the higher the demand, the more the ticket costs.

How to get from Karaganda to Tashkent: your flight options
There are no non-stop flights from Karaganda to Tashkent: Sary-Arka Airport serves only a handful of destinations, and Tashkent is not among them.
The main option is a connection in Almaty: FlyArystan takes you from Karaganda to Almaty, and onward flights to Tashkent are operated by Air Astana, Uzbekistan Airways and Centrum Air. There is a second possibility as well — travel overland to Astana, about 200 km away, since the two cities have no air link, and depart for Tashkent from there.
A connection in Almaty is usually faster and simpler because the whole journey is flown and booked as one itinerary. The Astana option makes sense if the overland transfer fits your schedule. As this is an international route, check whether you need a transit visa if your connection is outside Kazakhstan.
