How to get from Yerevan to Aktau: your flight options

In season the fastest way is the SCAT Airlines non-stop flight: about 1 hour 30 minutes in the air, with no change of plane and no long airport wait.

If there is no non-stop flight on your dates, connecting itineraries remain. Via Almaty: the non-stop FlyOne Armenia flight from Yerevan, then a domestic leg to Aktau with Air Astana, FlyArystan or SCAT Airlines. Via Istanbul: Pegasus flies non-stop to Aktau from Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), which is a separate airport and not the same as Istanbul (IST).

The non-stop flight wins on time, while connecting routes operate all year and give you more freedom with dates. Since this is an international trip and connecting options pass through third countries, check whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
