How to get from Kyzylorda to Istanbul: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights between Kyzylorda and Istanbul: Kyzylorda airport neither receives nor dispatches international services.

The journey is flown with one connection — via Almaty, Astana or Shymkent, all of which have non-stop flights to Istanbul. The Astana routing is usually shorter overall, because the flight to Istanbul from the capital takes less time.

A single ticket covering both legs is more convenient: the airline takes responsibility for the connection and your baggage. Combining separate tickets yourself is sometimes cheaper, but you need spare time for re-checking in.

When flying with a connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
