How to get from Yerevan to Karaganda: your flight options

There is no non-stop Yerevan — Karaganda flight: Sary-Arka airport serves only a handful of destinations and has no direct link with Armenia.

The most predictable routing is via Almaty: the non-stop FlyOne Armenia flight from Yerevan, then the FlyArystan flight to Karaganda. A connection in Moscow with Aeroflot is also possible. A separate practical scenario is to fly into Astana and continue to Karaganda overland: the cities are about 200 km apart, with regular buses and trains between them.

The Almaty option is all-air and usually more convenient in terms of connections, while flying to Astana and travelling on by road or rail can sometimes be faster and cheaper. Since this is an international trip with a connection, check whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
