Cheap Flights from Ulan-Ude to Ulyanovsk — $253

Ulyanovsk has two airports serving different needs. Ulyanovsk Vostochny (ULY) is the larger international-capable airport and can handle scheduled charters, cargo and occasional long-haul flights; it typically hosts Russian carriers and some low-cost or regional operators and can feel more business- or logistics-oriented. The airport sits roughly 20–30 km from the city center, with road transfers by taxi or private car usually taking 30–50 minutes; fares can range from modest to mid-level depending on service. Public shuttle buses or regional minibuses are available but may be infrequent. By contrast, smaller local airfields handle mostly general aviation. Pros: greater capacity and freight connectivity; cons: longer transfer times and limited frequent international services.

Ulan-Ude Airport (Baikal International, UUD) acts as the main regional gateway to Buryatia and eastern Siberia, functioning more as a modest international/regional hub than a large global connector. It typically handles flights from Moscow and other Russian cities, with occasional international charters; domestic carriers dominate while a few regional airlines operate turboprops. Fares can be relatively affordable compared with major hubs but may rise seasonally. The airport is about 12–16 km southwest of Ulan-Ude city center; taxi rides commonly take 25–40 minutes and can cost roughly moderate local fares, while buses and marshrutkas offer cheaper 40–60 minute transfers. Pros: compact terminals, straightforward arrivals; cons: limited amenities and fewer international connections.
