Flight schedule Oral — Urzhar
There are no non-stop flights between Oral and Urzhar in the timetable. The itinerary is made up of two flights: first from Oral to Almaty or Astana, then a regional flight to Urzhar. The second segment is flown by small-capacity aircraft and takes a little over an hour.
The number of flights on each segment changes with the season and the day of the week, and regional flights do not operate daily. It is therefore easier to check the schedule for a specific date in the Freedom Travel search. Fares are dynamic and depend on how full the flights are and how far in advance you book.
How much does a flight from Oral to Urzhar cost

How to get from Oral to Urzhar: travel options
There is no direct Oral — Urzhar flight in the timetable, so a non-stop option is not available on this route.
The main way is to fly with a connection. Via Almaty the itinerary is completed by a SCAT flight, and via Astana by a Vietjet Qazaqstan flight. Both options require planning your layover time, since the regional flights operate several times a week rather than daily.
Another option is to fly to Ust-Kamenogorsk or Almaty and continue overland, although this takes considerably longer. When choosing, compare the total travel time, the length of the layover and the final price. No transit visa is needed — the whole journey stays within Kazakhstan.
