If there is no nonstop departure on your date, you can fly with a connection in Astana: Belavia serves the Kazakh capital, and onward flights to Almaty are operated by Air Astana, FlyArystan and SCAT. Connections through the hubs in Turkey and the Gulf are also possible.

A nonstop flight wins on time, while a connecting itinerary is sometimes cheaper and widens your choice of dates. If you connect outside Kazakhstan, check in advance whether a transit visa is required.
