How to get from Urzhar to Taraz: travel options

There are no non-stop flights between Urzhar and Taraz, so a direct flight is not an option on this route.

The main option is a flight with one connection in Almaty: a flight departs from Urzhar to Almaty, from where there is a regular non-stop service to Taraz. The second option is a connection in Astana: flights run from Urzhar to the capital, and there are non-stop services from there to Taraz.

The Almaty routing is usually shorter in total time, while the Astana option can suit the schedule better on certain days of the week. When comparing offers, look not only at the price but also at the layover: a short connection is risky if there are delays, while a very long one stretches out the trip. All legs are domestic, so no transit visa is needed.
