General information about flights between Tokyo and Karaganda

How to get from Tokyo to Karaganda: travel options

There are no non-stop flights between Tokyo and Karaganda. On top of that, there are no flights from Astana to Karaganda, so Almaty is the main domestic connecting point.

The most practical option is via Seoul: fly from Tokyo to Incheon, then take Air Astana, Asiana Airlines or Eastar Jet to Almaty and finish with the FlyArystan flight to Karaganda. The alternative runs via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines and a further connection inside Kazakhstan; that option also involves two stops.

Because the itinerary has two connections, leave a comfortable margin between flights and allow for the change of time zones. If you connect in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
