There are most likely no direct flights on the Lanzhou — Urumqi route
Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport (LHW) serves as the main international and regional hub for Gansu province, handling a mix of domestic trunk routes and a limited number of international connections. It is typically used by full-service carriers and several domestic low-cost operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-priced depending on season and carrier. The airport lies roughly 70–80 km north of Lanzhou city center; transfers are usually by shuttle bus (about 70–90 minutes), airport coach (similar times), taxi or hired car (around 60–90 minutes, with higher fares). Pros: more route choices and basic passenger services. Cons: relatively long transfer times to the city and occasional traffic variability.
The cost of a one-way flight from Lanzhou to Urumqi ranges from $121 (August 2026) to $148 (October 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $134–$148.
Urumqi is served mainly by Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC), the region’s primary international and domestic hub that handles most long-haul and connecting flights, alongside smaller general aviation facilities. The airport typically hosts a mix of Chinese carriers (China Southern, China Eastern, Air China) and regional airlines, with budget options on some domestic routes. Located roughly 16–20 km northwest of Urumqi city center, Diwopu is usually reached in 25–45 minutes by taxi or private car and in about 40–60 minutes using airport express buses; fares can be modest for buses and higher for taxis depending on distance and traffic. Pros: modern terminal, regular connections across Xinjiang and to major Chinese cities; Cons: distance from downtown can make transfers longer and peak-hour traffic may add delays, while fewer international low-cost choices may mean limited budget options.
