Cheap Flights from Ulyanovsk to Almaty — $196

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s premium hub for full-service carriers and regional connections. It usually handles national flag carrier flights alongside several international airlines and can be pricier than smaller domestic airports. The airport sits about 15–20 km southeast of Almaty’s city centre; road transfer times are generally 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and ride-hailing services commonly used and fares usually ranging from modest to mid-tier. A few airport buses and shuttle options can be cheaper but slower. Pros include a full range of passenger facilities and frequent international services; cons can be congestion at peak times and occasional longer waits for immigration.

Ulyanovsk has two airports serving different roles: Ulyanovsk Vostochny (ULY) is the larger, internationally capable airport handling most scheduled passenger flights and some cargo services, while Baratayevka (ULY’s smaller alternative) can be used for private and occasional regional services. Domestic and budget carriers typically operate here, with fewer long-haul options compared with major Russian hubs. Both airports lie around 10–30 km from the city centre; transfer times can be roughly 20–40 minutes by taxi or 40–60+ minutes by local bus, with fares generally modest. Pros include short queues and straightforward navigation; cons can be limited frequency of flights and fewer on-site amenities than bigger international airports.
