How to get the best deal on a Ulaanbaatar — Astana ticket

  • Given the low flight frequency (only once a week), you should book tickets for the Ulaanbaatar — Astana route at least 6–8 weeks before departure.

  • Pay attention to SCAT airlines' baggage allowance: on international flights, it is often more cost-effective to choose a fare with a checked bag included right away rather than paying extra during check-in.
  • If direct flights are not available for your preferred dates, check for connecting flight options; however, this may significantly increase travel time given the distance of 2,568 km.
