A non-stop flight on this route does not exist: Zaysan airport does not handle scheduled passenger flights, so there is no way to depart directly.

The practical way is therefore ground transport — a bus, a shared taxi or your own car. Allow extra time if you have an onward flight from Ust-Kamenogorsk, and buy the ticket for that next leg in advance.
