How to get from Sharjah to Astana: your options

There is no non-stop flight from Sharjah Airport to Astana: the only direct service from Sharjah to Kazakhstan goes to Almaty.

The first option is a connection in Almaty: Air Arabia brings you over from Sharjah, and Air Astana, FlyArystan, SCAT Airlines and Vietjet Qazaqstan continue to Astana, with plenty of departures to choose from. The second option is to fly out of neighbouring Dubai, whose airport is roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive away: flydubai and Air Astana operate non-stop from there to Astana.

Routing via Almaty lets you depart straight from Sharjah and book both legs in a single search, while the Dubai option saves time in the air but adds a road transfer to another airport. If your connection is outside your country of departure, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
