Aeroflot is initiating direct flights from Yekaterinburg to Nachang.
In the upcoming spring-summer season of 2025, travellers from Yekaterinburg will have the opportunity to explore Asian countries such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand, with Aeroflot and Ural Airlines operating flights to these regions.
Aeroflot, a major carrier based at Sheremetyevo Airport, has confirmed direct flights from Yekaterinburg to Bangkok, Thailand, indicating at least seasonal direct service to Thailand. Ural Airlines, on the other hand, shows less clear direct service to Vietnam or Thailand, but it is the cheapest airline for flights originating at least from Dubai to Yekaterinburg, suggesting competitive pricing on some Asian routes.
The pricing for spring-summer 2025 flights is dynamic, depending on booking time, route, and class. The cheapest days for flights tend to be Thursdays, and February was noted as a cheap travel month for some flights, although this may not directly apply to Yekaterinburg-Asia routes.
Aeroflot connects Yekaterinburg directly with Bangkok, while Vietnam connections are indirect, with carriers like Vietjet connecting Vietnam and Russia, but no direct Yekaterinburg flights have been confirmed from these carriers. China destinations from Yekaterinburg are typical for Russian airlines, but exact routes and schedules for 2025 should be confirmed on official airline or booking platforms.
For the most accurate and current flight schedules, prices, and routes, especially for China and Vietnam, it is recommended to consult official Aeroflot and Ural Airlines websites or trusted booking platforms closer to the travel dates, as geopolitical and economic factors continue to influence Russian airline operations.
In addition to Bangkok, other recommended destinations include Bangkok, India (Goa), Sri Lanka (Matalla), the UAE (Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi), Egypt, and Turkey (Istanbul and Antalya). The price of a one-way ticket for some of these routes starts at 45,800 rubles.
It's worth noting that Aeroflot is launching direct flights from Yekaterinburg to Nha Trang starting September 29, and Ural Airlines has recently resumed flights to Gelendzhik. The flight time from Yekaterinburg to Nha Trang is 9 hours and 15 minutes, and the flight will be operated on Airbus A330 aircraft.
Asian countries like China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and others are becoming increasingly popular among travellers, and China is expected to remain a popular destination, with a third point of arrival from Yekaterinburg expected to appear in the spring.
