How to get from Turkistan to Urzhar: travel options

The main way to travel is a connection in Almaty: you fly there from Turkistan and board the SCAT Airlines service to Urzhar (summer season). A second option is a connection in Astana, which also has scheduled flights to Urzhar. Both fit into a single day if the connection is well chosen.

When comparing itineraries, look not only at the fare but also at the days of operation: flights to Urzhar are not daily, so the set of available connections depends heavily on your chosen date. Sometimes shifting your departure from Turkistan by a day beats taking a long layover.
