How to get from Pavlodar to Istanbul: your options

There are no non-stop flights between Pavlodar and Istanbul — the route is served by connecting itineraries only.

The first option is a connection in Almaty: the scheduled flight out of Pavlodar goes there, and Almaty — Istanbul is flown by Air Astana and Turkish Airlines. The second option is to reach Astana overland: the capital is about 450 km from Pavlodar and Vietjet Qazaqstan flies between the cities, so the bus or car journey takes roughly 5–6 hours, and Air Astana and Turkish Airlines also fly Astana — Istanbul.

Going via Almaty keeps the whole journey on a single ticket with baggage checked through to Istanbul. Travelling overland to Astana can be cheaper or fit the timetable better, especially outside the season of the Pavlodar flight. If your connection is in a third country, check in advance whether a transit visa is required.
