How to get from Shymkent to Munich: travel options

SCAT Airlines operates the nonstop flight about twice a week as part of its seasonal programme, and this is the fastest way to travel — around 6 hours 30 minutes in the air.

When the nonstop flight is not running, the trip is made with a connection. The most logical hub is Istanbul: SCAT Airlines takes you from Shymkent to Istanbul, and from there Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa fly to Munich in about 2 hours 45 minutes. Connections can also be built via Almaty or Astana with onward flights to European hubs.

The nonstop flight wins on time and comfort, while connecting options usually offer more dates to choose from and sometimes a lower fare. Compare both scenarios in the search before booking.

If your connection is in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
