Haikou is served mainly by Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK), the island’s primary international and regional gateway, and Haikou Xiuying Hainan General Aviation Airport for smaller, domestic flights and charters. Meilan typically handles most full-service carriers and several budget airlines connecting Hainan to mainland China and some Southeast Asian destinations; fares can be competitive for domestic routes and variable for international services. The airport lies about 25–30 km east of downtown Haikou; taxi or ride-hailing usually takes 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly CN¥80–150, while the airport shuttle or intercity bus can be slower but cheaper (around CN¥10–30). Pros: modern facilities and direct connections; cons: distance from the city center and occasional congestion at peak travel times.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International Airport (DXB), a major global hub known for long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and a wide mix of international airlines; it can be busy and typically leans toward full-service amenities and higher fares compared with regional low-cost options. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city centre; taxis take roughly 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and usually charge a moderate fare, while the Dubai Metro’s Red Line offers a fast, inexpensive connection in around 20–30 minutes. Pros: extensive flight choices, plentiful lounges and retail; cons: crowds and longer lines at peak times. Al Maktoum International (DWC), farther south in Dubai South, functions more as a growing, budget- and cargo-friendly alternative and can be used by some low-cost and charter operators. It is located roughly 40–50 km from central Dubai, so transfers are longer — expect taxi or shuttle journeys of about 40–60 minutes and higher transfer costs; public transport options are more limited though dedicated buses and airport shuttles can be available. Pros: less congestion and new facilities; cons: greater travel time to the city and fewer airline choices.
