Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) is the city's main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and some budget airlines, handling most long-haul and domestic flights. It sits about 35–40 km southeast of downtown Nanjing; airport express buses and intercity coaches typically take 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, while taxi rides can be 40–50 minutes and may cost more during peak hours. A metro line also links the airport to the urban rail network with journey times around 45–60 minutes and modest fares. Pros: broadly connected, modern terminal facilities and frequent services. Cons: distance from the center can mean longer transfers and occasional congestion at peak times.
Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s main global hub and a premium transfer point for long-haul and regional carriers, hosting major airlines and many full-service and premium options; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season. Located roughly 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, it’s typically reached by the metro (Red Line, about 15–25 minutes; fares from low single digits), taxis (20–40 minutes, higher cost) or ride-hailing services. DXB’s strengths are plentiful amenities, frequent connections and efficient transfer facilities, while crowds during peak hours and longer walking distances can be downsides. Al Maktoum International (DWC), farther south, often serves budget, cargo and charter flights and can be a cheaper but less central alternative; it’s about 35–50 km from the city centre with transfers by shuttle or taxi taking up to an hour or more and varying in price. DWC can be cost-effective for low-cost carriers but may add extra travel time and fewer on-site services compared with DXB.
