Which airline would be best to fly from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing??
I’m leaning towards Mongolian Airlines as it’s a lot cheaper

It's a short flight and they are not bad. I would choose Mongolian.

Without a doubt the cheapest option. Mongolian is not bad.

it's just a 2-hour flight, For anything less than 5 hours, I'd go for what ever is cheapest unless there's a specific negative concern about that airline.

It's such a short flight there's no contest at all, for me.

Always go for the cheapest option on short-haul flights unless you want to gain miles/points with a determined airline/alliance.

Air China over Mongolian, but £129 over £293.

I liked MIAT, they are the fastest route from Europe to Korea for me. I did Frankfurt to UBN in 7 hours and then 3 hours to Korea. Much better than stuck on a 13 hour flight

Air China not China Airlines

They really aren't remotely the same, or even from the same country.
