Nanjing is served mainly by Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG), the city’s primary international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights, while a smaller Nanjing Dajiaochang/other general aviation fields can cater to private or training traffic. Major carriers like China Eastern, Air China and Hainan Airlines typically operate regular scheduled services, alongside several low-cost and regional operators offering cheaper domestic connections. Lukou lies about 35–45 km south of the city centre, reachable by airport express train (roughly 30–40 minutes) or by metro plus shuttle/bus (40–60 minutes); taxis and ride-hailing usually take around 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service and time of day. Pros: modern terminals, good international connections and frequent domestic options; cons: distance from central Nanjing and occasional congestion at peak times can add transfer time and cost.

Sanya’s main gateway, Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SYX), serves as the island’s international and regional hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and many seasonal charter and low-cost flights. Located roughly 15–20 km northwest of Sanya city center, it can be reached by taxi in about 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, typically costing around CNY 60–120; airport shuttle and public buses are cheaper options taking 40–60 minutes with fares under CNY 20. The airport is convenient for resort transfers and offers basic to mid-range passenger amenities, though peak holiday periods can mean crowded terminals and longer wait times. For very low-cost domestic options, secondary nearby airports are uncommon, so SYX is usually the primary entry point.
