How to get from Minsk to Aktobe: your flight options
There are no direct flights between Minsk and Aktobe, so the whole journey involves a connection inside Kazakhstan.
The main option is a connection in Astana: the Belavia flight from Minsk, then one of the domestic services to Aktobe operated by Air Astana, FlyArystan, SCAT or Vietjet Qazaqstan. The alternative is a connection in Almaty, from where Air Astana, FlyArystan and SCAT fly to Aktobe.
