Cheap Flights from Ulaanbaatar to Hohhot — $174

Hohhot Baita International Airport is the region’s main air gateway, functioning primarily as a domestic and regional hub for Inner Mongolia with a limited number of international services. It typically hosts most of China’s major carriers — Air China, China Eastern, China Southern and some low-cost operators — so fares can range from budget-friendly on discount routes to mid-range on peak domestic legs. The airport sits roughly 15–25 km from downtown Hohhot; taxis and ride-hailing usually take about 20–40 minutes and can cost in the order of ¥50–¥100, while airport shuttle buses take 30–60 minutes for fares around ¥10–¥30. Pros: a modern, efficient terminal and good domestic connections; cons: fewer direct overseas routes and thinner late-night transport options.

Chinggis Khaan International Airport is Ulaanbaatar’s primary international gateway and usually serves full‑service carriers alongside Mongolia’s flag carrier, making it the city’s main long‑haul hub. Located roughly 50–60 km from the central districts, transfers can take about an hour to 90 minutes by road depending on traffic. Typical connections to the city include scheduled airport shuttle buses and shared or private taxis; bus tickets can be modest while taxi fares are often noticeably higher. The airport is generally more modern and comfortable than older facilities, but the longer transfer time to downtown can be a downside for tight itineraries. Buyant‑Ukhaa, the older Ulaanbaatar airfield, typically handles domestic and some regional flights and can be preferable for short‑haul connections. It sits much closer to the city—usually under 20 km—so journeys to central Ulaanbaatar are often 20–40 minutes by taxi or local transport. Fares for a short taxi ride can be economical compared with transfers from the main international airport, and the proximity makes it convenient for quick business or domestic hops. However, services and route choices can be more limited than at the newer international airport, and facilities may feel more basic.

Direct flights between Ulaanbaatar and Hohhot are the quickest, most convenient way to cross the Mongolia–China border—saving you time and the hassle of layovers for a smoother trip. Connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, but if you value comfort and speed, book a direct service to get there faster and with less stress.
