Omsk — Karaganda flight schedule

There are no non-stop flights between the cities, and Karaganda airport has a small network: non-stop flights link it with Almaty, Moscow and Novosibirsk, plus a few Kazakh cities. The shortest pattern is a connection in Novosibirsk: S7 Airlines operates both the Omsk — Novosibirsk leg, of about an hour, and the Novosibirsk — Karaganda leg, of about 1 hour 40 minutes.

The Novosibirsk — Karaganda flights operate only a few times a month, so it is worth searching early and with flexible dates. Current options and fares are easiest to check in the Freedom Travel search: prices are dynamic and follow demand.

How to get from Omsk to Karaganda: your flight options

There is no non-stop Omsk — Karaganda flight in the schedules, so a single-flight option is not available on this route.

The most direct pattern geographically is a connection in Novosibirsk with S7 Airlines. A second option is to fly non-stop to Astana with Vietjet Qazaqstan: there are no flights between Astana and Karaganda, but the cities are only about 200 km apart and the last stretch is easy by bus, train or car. The search may also offer a longer routing via Almaty, from where FlyArystan flies to Karaganda.

Compare the total travel time and the price: the Novosibirsk combination saves time but depends on an infrequent schedule, while the Astana option has more reliable flights and an overland leg at the end. If the tickets are issued separately, you will have to collect and re-check your baggage.

The trip is international and involves a connection, so check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country and that your passport is still valid.
