How to get from Uralsk to Taldykorgan: travel options
No non-stop flights currently operate between the two cities, so the trip always involves one connection.
The main option is a connection in Astana: the capital's airport has scheduled links to both Uralsk and Taldykorgan. The first leg takes about 2 hours, the second around 1 hour 55 minutes. In some periods a connection via Almaty may also work well.
When comparing options, look beyond the final price at the layover length and arrival time: a very short connection is risky if a flight is delayed, while a very long one stretches the trip across the whole day. If both legs are issued on a single ticket, baggage is usually checked through to Taldykorgan.
