How to get from Tbilisi to Karaganda: travel options

There are no non-stop flights between Tbilisi and Karaganda: Sary-Arka airport serves only a handful of destinations, and Georgia is not among them.

The main itinerary runs via Almaty: an Air Astana flight from Tbilisi and then a FlyArystan domestic flight to Karaganda. Other combinations are possible too — via Aktau or Shymkent with SCAT Airlines, or via Istanbul with a further connection inside Kazakhstan; those options usually require two stops.

The Almaty routing normally wins on total travel time, while longer combinations are sometimes cheaper or fit your dates better. If you connect in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
