How to get from Zhezkazgan to Kyzylorda: travel options
There are currently no scheduled non-stop flights between Zhezkazgan and Kyzylorda: Zhezkazgan Airport serves Astana, Almaty, Karaganda and Shymkent, while Kyzylorda is connected by air with Astana, Almaty and Aktau.
The best option is a single-connection itinerary via Astana: the capital hub offers the widest choice of connections, and the Astana — Kyzylorda leg is operated by several airlines at once. A route via Almaty is also possible, though the total travel time is usually longer.
Given the short distance between the cities, some passengers choose ground transport instead. If you do fly, compare options not only by price but also by total travel time and layover length. A single ticket is more convenient: baggage is then usually checked through to Kyzylorda.
