Kunming Changshui International (KMG) is the city’s main international hub, handling long-haul services and most full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators; it replaced the older Wujingchi airport and is generally seen as the primary gateway for Yunnan. The airport sits roughly 24–30 km north of downtown Kunming, with travel times of about 35–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or around 30–45 minutes via the metro Line 6 and airport express services; fares typically range from modest metro fees to mid-range taxi fares. Pros include modern facilities, plentiful dining and transit links; cons can be longer transfer times to the city and occasional congestion during peak holiday periods.
Bangkok is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub for long-haul and full-service carriers, usually handling most scheduled long-distance flights and commonly perceived as pricier for premium services; it’s about 30–35 km east of downtown and typically reached in 30–60 minutes by Airport Rail Link plus taxi (around 35–60 THB for the train, taxis vary) or by taxi/ride-hail for 25–45 minutes depending on traffic. Don Mueang (DMK) operates as a budget and regional gateway, hosting many low-cost and domestic airlines and often offering cheaper fares; it’s roughly 20–25 km north of the city centre and usually a 25–50 minute taxi or bus ride (buses and shuttles are inexpensive). Pros: BKK provides modern international facilities and faster rail connections; DMK can be quicker for northern approaches and budget travelers. Cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic, and transfers between them may take an hour or more.
