Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) is the city’s main international gateway and a growing regional hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on domestic and Asian routes. Flights here are often competitively priced compared with Beijing and Shanghai, though fares vary by season. The airport sits about 27–35 km east of downtown Hangzhou; typical transport options include express metro Line 1 (around 30–40 minutes), airport shuttle buses (40–60 minutes) and taxis or ride-hailing (30–50 minutes), with fares generally ranging from modest shuttle fees up to mid-range taxi fares depending on time and traffic. Pros: modern facilities, good international connections and clear transfer signage; cons: distance from the city center and occasional heavy traffic at peak hours.

Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG) is the city’s primary international and domestic gateway, functioning as a regional hub for full-service carriers and major Chinese airlines with an increasing number of international routes. Fares to and from Changshui can be competitive on domestic sectors but may be higher on long-haul international services; low-cost carriers also operate some regional routes. The airport sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown Kunming; typical travel times are roughly 35–50 minutes by taxi ( fares often range from RMB 70–120 depending on time and traffic) or about 30–40 minutes by airport express bus at lower cost. Pros: modern facilities, frequent connections and direct international flights; cons: distance from the city center can add transfer time and taxi costs during peak hours. Kunming Wujiaba Airport (closed as a commercial airport since 2012) previously served domestic flights but has been replaced by Changshui for scheduled passenger services; remnants of its role can be seen in its historical significance rather than active operations. For travelers researching older references or specialised charters, it’s worth confirming whether any private or non-scheduled flights still use former facilities or nearby airfields. Since regular commercial services moved to Changshui, most transport, pricing and carrier information now centers on Kunming Changshui International Airport.
