Cheap Flights from Almaty to Ulyanovsk — $178

Almaty International Airport (ALA) serves as Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers as well as some low-cost operators. It typically handles a mix of long-haul and CIS flights, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 15–20 km southeast of central Almaty; taxi or rideshare trips normally take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly the equivalent of a modest local fare, while airport shuttles and fixed-route buses offer cheaper options that may take longer. Pros: modern terminals and a wide route network; cons: peak-time congestion and variable transfer times to the city.

Fly nonstop from Almaty to Ulyanovsk for the quickest, most convenient way to reach your Russian destination — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting routes can sometimes be cheaper, choosing a direct flight saves valuable time and offers a more comfortable, straightforward travel experience.

Ulyanovsk has two primary airports serving different needs. Ulyanovsk-Vostochny (ULY) is the older, more centrally located airport handling many domestic and some regional flights; it can be convenient for city access at roughly 20–35 minutes by taxi (around modest fares) or by local bus/minibus in about 30–50 minutes at very low cost. Ulyanovsk-Baratayevka (ULY–secondary operations) and associated larger cargo/aircraft-maintenance facilities can host charter and international services at times, often used by budget or specialty carriers. Travelers typically find fares to be moderate compared with Russia’s major hubs. Pros: short transfer times and simple layouts; cons: limited long-haul connectivity and fewer onboard service options than larger hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Almaty to Ulyanovsk vary: minimum — $205 (January 2026), maximum — $248 (May 2026). Typically, the flight costs $227–$248.
