Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) is the city’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub for full-service carriers and some low-cost operators. It handles most long-haul and domestic flights, so fares to/from Lukou can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 35–40 km southeast of downtown Nanjing; travel by Maglev plus metro or direct airport express bus usually takes around 35–50 minutes, while taxis or rideshares can take 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying accordingly. Pros: modern terminals, frequent connections and good transfer facilities. Cons: it’s a fair distance from the city center and journeys can be impacted by peak-hour congestion.
Guangzhou is served mainly by Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), a major international hub handling long-haul and domestic flights and typically used by full-service carriers as well as many low-cost operators; some travelers may also use nearby Shenzhen or Hong Kong airports for budget or alternative international options. Baiyun sits about 28–35 km north of downtown Guangzhou, with metro Line 3 and express coach services linking the city in roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxi or ride-hailing trips can take similar times and usually cost more. The airport usually offers extensive amenities and frequent international connections, though peak periods can mean longer queues; it’s convenient for global travel but can be less relaxed than smaller regional fields.
