How to get from Pavlodar to St Petersburg: your options

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

The first option is a connection in Almaty: the only scheduled flight out of Pavlodar goes there, and Aeroflot flies Almaty — St Petersburg. The second option is to reach Astana overland: the capital is about 450 km from Pavlodar with no air link between the cities, so the bus or car journey takes roughly 5–6 hours, and Aeroflot and Red Wings fly Astana — St Petersburg, mainly in season.

Going via Almaty keeps everything on one ticket with baggage checked through to St Petersburg, but adds a detour to the south of the country. The Astana option is shorter in distance and often cheaper, at the cost of a road transfer. If your connection is in a third country, check in advance whether a transit visa is required.
