How to get from Munich to Karaganda: your flight options
There is no non-stop flight between Munich and Karaganda, so the itinerary always consists of several legs.
The first option goes via Istanbul: Turkish Airlines takes you from Munich to Istanbul and on to Almaty, and the domestic Almaty to Karaganda flight is operated by FlyArystan. The second option goes via Frankfurt: Lufthansa flies Munich to Frankfurt, Air Astana operates Frankfurt to Almaty, and from there you again change to a flight to Karaganda.
An itinerary with two connections takes longer but is usually cheaper and offers more dates to choose from; with short layovers it is important to leave a time buffer, especially if your baggage is not checked through to the final destination. On an international trip with a connection, check whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
