Note that departures from Beijing use both Capital airport (PEK) and Daxing airport (PKX), so check which one your flight leaves from when you book. Frequencies change with the season and fares are priced dynamically — see the current schedule in the Freedom Travel search.

How to get from Beijing to Aktobe: your flight options
There is no non-stop flight from Beijing to Aktobe, so the itinerary always runs through a transfer city in Kazakhstan.
The first leg is the flight to Almaty or Astana, which takes about 5 hours. From there Aktobe is roughly 3 hours away from Almaty and about 2 hours 30 minutes from Astana; these legs are flown by Air Astana, FlyArystan, SCAT and, out of Astana, Vietjet Qazaqstan.
Routing via Almaty usually offers more frequencies and easier timings, while the Astana option gives you a shorter second leg. Because the transfer happens inside Kazakhstan, no third-country transit visa is needed, but if you connect in another country, check the requirement in advance.
