How to get from Shymkent to Omsk: travel options

There are no nonstop flights from Shymkent to Omsk, so the itinerary consists of two legs.

The most logical connection is Astana, from where Vietjet Qazaqstan flies to Omsk. A good alternative is Novosibirsk: a SCAT Airlines flight from Shymkent and a short S7 Airlines hop to Omsk. A Moscow routing also works: SCAT Airlines flies to Moscow, and from there Omsk is served by Aeroflot and Pobeda from Sheremetyevo and by S7 Airlines and Ural Airlines from Domodedovo — allow for a possible airport change.

The Astana option is usually the fastest, Novosibirsk is convenient scheduling-wise, and the Moscow routing is worth considering when nothing else is available on your date. Compare the scenarios by fare and total travel time.

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