A direct flight is the fastest option: you depart from Zvartnots International Airport and land in Astana about 3 hours 15 minutes later with no intermediate stops.
Connecting itineraries run through major hubs such as Istanbul and Dubai. They take longer but offer a wider choice of dates and departure times.
If no direct flight is available on the date you need, or a connecting fare is noticeably cheaper, a one-stop itinerary is often the sensible choice. When connecting in a third country, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
