Tips on Finding Cheap Flights to Urumqi

1. Book the tickets 1-3 months ahead and you may have greater chance to catch the tickets with high discounts.

2. Focus on the changes of ticket fare on the airlines’ official websites or some booking Apps. Kill the special ticket without hesitation. There are some discounted tickets provided for passengers every now and then.

3. Try to travel in off seasons, which is in general cheaper than traveling in hot seasons. The domestic ticket usually enjoys 30%-60% off discount in low season from November to next March, while the discount in high season from April to October is usually 20%-40% off.

4. Usually, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in a week and the early and late flights in a day cost you less.

5. Airlines often want passengers to choose their flights on back trip to increase their occupancy, so it's much cheaper to buy international round-trip tickets than to buy two one-way tickets.

6. The ticket fare of low-cost airline is usually cheaper than traditional airlines. But their service and baggage allowance may not be that satisfied.

You will need a fronter pass (Bian Fang Zheng in Chinese) to visit some areas of Aksu and Kashgar. You can go to the local Exit and Entry Administration to apply for one.

After your arrival at T3 in Urumqi, you will go through the passport control on 1F and then claim your luggage at the Baggage Claim Hall, go through Costoms Inspection. After that there will be a transferpassage and staff there will guide you to the counter for transfer process. After you go through the security check on the 2F, you can wait for your next trip then.
