How to get from Seoul to Aktau: your options

A Seoul — Aktau non-stop does not exist. From Incheon Airport, direct flights to Kazakhstan serve Almaty, Astana and Shymkent, so the trip to Aktau always involves a change.

The most workable options are connections in Almaty or Astana. Air Astana, Asiana Airlines and Eastar Jet fly to Almaty, Air Astana to Astana; onward flights to Aktau are operated by Air Astana, FlyArystan and SCAT Airlines, and both are among the busiest routes out of Aktau.

Almaty usually gives you a wider choice of departure times, while routing via Astana can be shorter overall. Please note: when you connect outside your country of departure, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
