There is no nonstop flight between Kokshetau and Urzhar, so a single-flight option is not available on this route.

The main way to travel is a connection in Almaty. A second scenario, convenient for residents of the north, is to travel overland from Kokshetau to Astana (around 300 km) and fly to Urzhar from there: the capital service often saves several hours compared with connecting via Almaty.

When comparing itineraries, consider not only the fare but also the days Urzhar flights operate and, in the second option, the time needed to reach Astana. Sometimes shifting your departure by a day is easier than accepting a very long layover.
