How to get from Petropavlovsk to Urzhar: travel options

There is no direct air link between Petropavlovsk and Urzhar, so the route cannot be covered by a single flight.

Two connecting options are possible. The first goes via Almaty: a SCAT Airlines flight from Petropavlovsk to Almaty, then a flight by the same carrier to Urzhar. The second goes via Astana: a flight to the capital and then a Vietjet Qazaqstan flight to Urzhar. Which works better depends on the day of the week and the connection times.

For comparison, an overland journey across the whole country takes a very long time, so a single-connection flight is usually preferable. Some passengers fly to Oskemen or Semey and continue to Urzhar by car. The choice depends on your budget, the amount of luggage and how important it is to save time.
