Kokshetau — Phuket flight schedule

There is no non-stop service between the two cities. Kokshetau Airport serves only three domestic destinations — Almaty, Shymkent and Aktau — so the schedule for this route consists of a domestic flight to Almaty plus the long-haul Almaty — Phuket service.

Departure frequency varies by season and day of the week and fares are dynamic, so it is best to check exact dates, layover times and prices in the Freedom Travel search for your specific days.

How to get from Kokshetau to Phuket: your flight options

There are no direct flights from Kokshetau to Phuket — Kokshetau Airport operates domestic services only and has no international routes at all.

The main pattern is a SCAT flight from Kokshetau to Almaty and a connection onto the daily Air Astana service to Phuket. There is a second scenario as well: travelling to Astana overland — there is no air service between Kokshetau and Astana, the capital airport is about 300 km away and the drive takes around 4 hours by car or coach — since Air Astana also flies to Phuket from Astana, although far less frequently.

Going via Almaty is more convenient in terms of frequency and lets you book the whole trip on a single ticket, while the overland transfer to Astana is worth considering if it works out cheaper and you are happy to plan the road journey yourself. As this is an international journey with a connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa if you connect outside Kazakhstan.
