Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Changchun is served mainly by Changchun Longjia International Airport (CGQ), a regional international hub located about 32–35 km north of the city center in Jilin province. It typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, offering domestic links and seasonal international routes; fares can be competitive compared with larger Chinese hubs. Ground connections include airport express buses to downtown in roughly 45–60 minutes with modest fares, taxis taking about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic for a higher but still reasonable charge, and limited shuttle services coordinated with some hotels. Pros: generally modern facilities and straightforward transfers. Cons: the distance from central Changchun means travel time and taxi cost can be noticeable, and international connectivity is more limited than major national hubs.
Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main gateway to eastern Siberia and the Lake Baikal region, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a large global connector. It typically handles a mix of domestic Russian carriers and some international flights, with a balance of full-service and budget operators depending on season. The airport sits about 45 km north of Irkutsk city centre; travel by taxi can take roughly 40–60 minutes with fares often in a moderate range, while shared shuttles or marshrutkas and occasional bus services may take 60–90 minutes for lower cost. Pros: convenient for Baikal-bound travellers, straightforward domestic connections; cons: distance from downtown and variable public-transport frequency can add transfer time and some unpredictability during peak travel periods.
