Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines, with some low-cost options on popular routes. Located about 15 km southeast of the city center, the airport can be reached by taxi (roughly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic), airport shuttle buses, and private transfers; fares for taxis and ride-hailing services are usually moderate, while public buses are cheaper but slower. As a primary hub, Almaty often offers a wide range of international connections and passenger services, though peak periods can bring congestion and longer wait times. Overall it’s convenient for most travelers seeking international or domestic connections.

Chinggis Khaan International (ULN) is Ulaanbaatar’s main international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional scheduled flights, including carriers such as MIAT Mongolian, Aeroflot and several Chinese and Korean airlines. It is located about 50–55 km south of the city center, so transfers can be lengthy; expect road journeys around 40–70 minutes depending on traffic and weather, with private taxis, hotel shuttles and occasional shared vans as common options — fares can vary widely. The airport usually offers more amenities and scheduled services than the older domestic field, but the distance from central Ulaanbaatar can make it less convenient for quick city hops. Domestic flights sometimes operate from separate terminals, which can add transfer time.

The cost of a one-way flight from Almaty to Ulaanbaatar ranges from $277 (November 2025) to $529 (September 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $376–$747.
