Located about 35–40 km northeast of the city center in Jiaozhou, journeys by taxi or ride-hailing usually take around 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, while the metro line and airport express buses can take roughly 30–60 minutes with fares commonly ranging from modest city-bus prices up to mid-range taxi fares. The airport is generally seen as convenient for international and domestic connections, with good facilities and frequent services; downsides can include longer transfer times to central districts at peak periods.

Full-service carriers and low-cost airlines both operate here, so fares can be competitive compared with larger hubs. The airport lies about 20–25 km west of central Busan; travel time is usually 30–50 minutes by taxi or 40–55 minutes via the airport bus, with fares generally ranging from modest flat-rate bus fees to mid-range taxi fares depending on traffic. Pros: compact terminals and quick transfers for regional trips. Cons: fewer long-haul options and limited late-night services compared with major international hubs.
