Chinggis Khaan International Airport (UBN) is Mongolia’s main international gateway and typically handles both full-service and low-cost carriers, acting as the country’s principal long‑haul and regional hub. It lies roughly 50–55 km southeast of central Ulaanbaatar, so transfers can be lengthy by local standards. Ground links commonly include airport shuttle buses and private taxis; travel times to the city center are usually around 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with shared shuttles or buses generally offering the most economical option and taxis costing noticeably more. The airport is relatively modern with decent passenger facilities, which can be more comfortable than smaller domestic fields, though the distance from downtown is a trade‑off in convenience.

Moscow is served by several major airports, each with a different role. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is typically the city’s international hub for full-service carriers including Aeroflot and many global airlines; flights here can be pricier on average but offer extensive long-haul connections. Domodedovo (DME) often handles a mix of international and domestic routes and is used by both legacy and some low-cost carriers; prices are usually competitive. Vnukovo (VKO) can be a convenient option for certain European and domestic flights and sometimes hosts budget-friendly services. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is primarily used for charter and secondary routes and may be cheapest for niche itineraries. Ground transport varies by airport: Sheremetyevo connects to central Moscow via Aeroexpress trains in roughly 35–45 minutes, with fares usually in the mid-range; taxis and ride-hailing can take 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo’s Aeroexpress runs about 45–50 minutes to the city center, with similar taxi times; budget buses and marshrutkas can be slower but cheaper. Vnukovo’s Aeroexpress takes around 35–50 minutes and offers regular buses; Zhukovsky has fewer rail links and relies mainly on buses or taxis, so travel times can be less predictable. Pros: Sheremetyevo offers extensive amenities and transfer options; Domodedovo balances route variety with good rail links; Vnukovo can be more accessible for southwestern Moscow. Cons: All airports can be affected by heavy traffic and security queues, and Zhukovsky’s limited public-transport options can add uncertainty.

In different months, ticket prices from Ulaanbaatar to Moscow vary: minimum — $223 (November 2025), maximum — $634 (July 2026). Typically, the flight costs $390–$796.
