Cheap flights from Ulaanbaatar to Warsaw

November is when fares on this route tend to be at their lowest, and the price calendar fills in from September through March, with May, July and August also priced. Summer is peak at both ends: Warsaw fills with visitors and Ulaanbaatar's short warm season brings its own traffic, so seats cost more and go earlier. Late autumn and deep winter are quieter and cheaper, though you trade that for short days and real cold. Midweek departures are usually lighter than Friday and Sunday, and it pays to avoid the weeks around Christmas, New Year and Naadam in July, when everyone travels at once. Book a few months ahead for summer, later for winter.

Nothing flies this route nonstop, so the airlines below are the ones carrying you between the two cities on a connection. Miat Mongolian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Air China, Etihad Airways, Emirates, Asiana Airlines, Qatar Airways and Korean Air are full-service carriers, with meals and checked baggage normally part of the ticket. Jeju Air is a low-cost operator and Hunnu Air is a smaller Mongolian carrier, so look closely at what the fare includes on those. Which one you end up with depends on where you change: Istanbul, Beijing, Seoul or the Gulf hubs each add a different amount of time to the journey.

Warsaw has two airports. F. Chopin sits close to the city, a short ride from the centre by train, bus or taxi, and it handles most of the traffic on this route. Modlin lies well to the north of the city and needs a longer transfer, usually by dedicated bus or train, so check which one your ticket actually uses before you book anything onward. If you land late, note that the last trains and buses run earlier than you might expect, and a taxi from Modlin is a much longer and pricier ride than one from Chopin. Keep some local currency on you for the trip in.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from Chinggis Khaan or Buyant-Ukhaa, since Ulaanbaatar uses two airports and they are not next to each other.
• Confirm which Warsaw airport you land at, F. Chopin or Modlin, before you arrange a transfer or an onward flight.
• Look at what your fare includes if any leg is on a low-cost carrier, especially checked baggage.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, leave a long buffer, because a missed leg is not protected.
• Check the entry rules and visa requirements for Poland well before departure.
• Fly in November or the quieter winter months if price matters more than weather.
