How to get from Minsk to Aktau: your flight options

The basic option is a connection in Astana or Almaty: the Belavia flight from Minsk, then a domestic flight to Aktau with Air Astana, FlyArystan or SCAT. Other hubs also work: Aeroflot flies to Aktau from Moscow (Sheremetyevo) and Pegasus from Istanbul (Sabiha).

Connecting inside Kazakhstan usually gives the shortest total travel time, while routes via Moscow or Istanbul can be better value. As this is an international trip, check in advance whether you need a transit visa and what the transit rules are in the connecting country.
