Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) is the main gateway to eastern Siberia and typically serves as the region’s international and domestic hub, with carriers such as Aeroflot, S7 and domestic budget operators running frequent links. Flights to and from Moscow, Novosibirsk and nearby regional destinations are common, while seasonal services to Asia and charter routes can appear. The airport sits roughly 50–55 km southwest of Irkutsk city center; transfer options include Aeroexpress-style buses or regional minibuses (about 50–70 minutes, fares usually modest), taxis (around 45–60 minutes with variable fares) and private transfers. Pros: more flight choices and basic passenger services; cons: a longer road journey to the city and limited late-night public transport.

Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO) serves as the city’s main international gateway and a growing regional hub, handling both full-service carriers and many low-cost and domestic airlines. Located roughly 40–45 km northeast of downtown Qingdao, it typically takes about 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; airport express buses and intercity trains can take 40–70 minutes with fares generally in the low single-digit to low double-digit CNY range. The airport is modern and well-equipped, with plentiful lounges and shopping, but the longer transfer distance can add time and cost compared with older, closer fields. Travelers often balance better flight choices here against the longer commute to central Qingdao.
