    How to get from Taldykorgan to St Petersburg: your options

    There is no non-stop service on this route, so the trip always consists of at least two legs.

    The first option is entirely by air: the Vietjet Qazaqstan flight to Astana, then a non-stop Astana — St Petersburg service with Aeroflot or SCAT. The second is an overland transfer to Almaty (about 230 km, roughly 3–4 hours) followed by the non-stop Aeroflot flight from there.

    Via Astana you stay in the air the whole way and two carriers give you a choice on price; via Almaty there are slightly more departures, but you need to allow for the road. If you connect in a third country, check in advance whether a transit visa is required.
