How to get from Tbilisi to Aktau: travel options

The best option is the SCAT Airlines non-stop flight: a little over an hour in the air, with no intermediate stops or long waits.

If the direct flight does not suit your dates or budget, connecting itineraries are available via Almaty (an Air Astana flight from Tbilisi plus a domestic flight to Aktau) or via Istanbul. Total travel time then usually starts from about 8 hours and depends largely on the layover.

A non-stop flight saves noticeable time and energy, while connecting options sometimes let you fly on the day you need or pay less. If you connect in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
