How to get from Munich to Aktau: your flight options
There are no non-stop flights between Munich and Aktau, so the itinerary is built through a transit airport.
The most convenient option is Pegasus via Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen: the carrier operates both the flight from Munich and the flight to Aktau, so you change planes in the same terminal. An alternative is flying Turkish Airlines via Istanbul to Almaty or Astana and continuing on a domestic flight to Aktau operated by FlyArystan, Air Astana or SCAT Airlines.
A one-stop itinerary is faster, while a two-stop one gives you more dates to choose from and can sometimes be cheaper. On an international trip with a connection, check whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
