Public buses and shared shuttles can take 30–45 minutes for a lower cost.

Nanjing is served mainly by Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG), the city’s principal international and regional hub that handles most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 35–40 km south of downtown, travel to the city center is typically 35–60 minutes by airport express train or 40–70 minutes by road depending on traffic; expect metro/express fares and shuttle buses to be modest, while taxis can be higher. The airport generally offers a broad choice of lounges, dining and transfer options for comfort, but the distance from central Nanjing can make ground transfers less convenient than at closer urban fields. For quick domestic hops, some travelers may also use nearby secondary airports in the province.
