Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO) is Qingdao’s main international gateway and a growing regional hub that handles most long-haul and cross-border flights alongside major Chinese carriers and several international airlines. Located about 35–40 km northeast of downtown Qingdao, transfer into the city typically takes 30–50 minutes by expressway; airport express bus and taxi rides commonly range from roughly CNY 40–120 depending on service and traffic, while metro connections can be quicker during peak hours as lines expand. The airport usually offers modern facilities and a wide choice of lounges and eateries, making it comfortable for transfers, though travel times to the center can be longer than older city airports and fares may be higher than for nearby low-cost options.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically serves as the city’s primary hub for full-service carriers and regional flights, with some low-cost operators present. It lies about 15–20 km southeast of Almaty’s city centre, and travel times to downtown are commonly 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can usually range from modest flat rates to mid-range metered prices. Public transport options include regular buses and shared shuttles that are often the most economical choice but may be slower. Pros: good international connections and facilities; Cons: peak-period traffic to the city and occasional queueing at immigration. Overall it balances convenience for international travellers with occasional urban delays.
