Dalian is served primarily by Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport (DLC), which functions as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, while smaller regional fields are uncommon. DLC typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-priced depending on route and season. The airport lies about 10–12 km north of downtown Dalian; road transfer by taxi or ride-hail usually takes 25–40 minutes and can be moderately priced, while the airport express bus and local buses take roughly 40–60 minutes at lower fares. Pros: relatively close to the city, modern terminal and international connections; cons: peak-hour road congestion can delay transfers and low-cost flight amenities may be basic.

Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) is the main international gateway for the Xi’an metropolitan area and typically serves a mix of full‑service carriers and low‑cost airlines operating domestic and regional routes.

XIY is generally seen as a full‑service hub with modern facilities and a wide route network, though journeys to the center can be longer than at city‑center airports; budget travelers may prefer shuttle services for lower fares, while business travelers often pick taxis or express train for speed and convenience.
