The most convenient way is a nonstop flight of about 1 hour 30 minutes: departures run at almost any time of day and the choice of airlines makes it easy to match your schedule.
Connecting itineraries are rarely needed on such a short leg, though they do appear in the search, for example when you continue further into Kazakhstan. Total travel time then grows and depends on the layover.
A nonstop flight usually wins on both time and price, while a connection is worth considering only if its schedule suits you better. If you travel with a stopover, check in advance whether a transit visa is required in the connecting country.
