Rome — Karaganda flight schedule
There is no non-stop service between the two cities and no flights from Istanbul to Karaganda, so the itinerary is normally built around two hubs: Fiumicino to Istanbul, Istanbul to Almaty, then a domestic FlyArystan flight to Karaganda. Total travel time starts at roughly 13 hours and is largely determined by the length of the layovers.
The schedule of the domestic leg changes with the season and the day of the week, so it is easiest to check it for a specific date in the Freedom Travel search, which also shows how fares move.

How to get from Rome to Karaganda: your options
There are no non-stop flights between Rome and Karaganda, and a single connection is not enough: Karaganda airport has no direct service to any European or Turkish city.
The workable pattern involves two connections: Rome to Istanbul, Istanbul to Almaty, then Almaty to Karaganda with FlyArystan. Karaganda also has direct flights from Moscow and Novosibirsk, so routings via those cities are possible; within Kazakhstan, SCAT Airlines flies to Karaganda from Aktau, Shymkent and Zhezkazgan.
Fewer connections mean less time in transit, though such itineraries are not always cheaper. Many travellers also fly into Astana, which is about 215 km from Karaganda by road. If your route passes through a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
