Cheap Flights from Ulan-Ude to Samara — $182

Samara is served mainly by Kurumoch International Airport (KUF), the region’s primary hub for both domestic flights and a limited number of international connections, while smaller airfields in the region cater to general aviation. Kurumoch typically handles carriers such as Aeroflot, S7 and Ural Airlines alongside seasonal charter and low-cost services. The airport sits about 35–45 km northeast of Samara’s city center; travel by Aeroexpress/train or intercity bus can take roughly 40–60 minutes, taxis or rideshares around 35–50 minutes depending on traffic. Fares for public transport are usually modest; taxis can be pricier but offer door-to-door convenience. Pros: relatively modern international facilities and direct domestic links. Cons: longer transfer distance to downtown and variable budget carrier frequency.

Ulan-Ude’s Mikhaylovka Airport (UUD) serves as the region’s main civil gateway, typically handling domestic flights and occasional regional connections rather than long-haul international services. Carriers are usually Russian domestic operators and regional airlines, so fares can feel midrange to relatively budget-friendly compared with larger hubs. The airport lies about 12–15 km east of Ulan-Ude city center; taxis and private transfers commonly take roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, while fixed-route minibuses or buses can be slower (30–50 minutes) for a lower fare. Pros: compact terminal and quick walk times; cons: limited dining and lounge options and fewer onward connection choices than major international airports.
