Qingdao is served primarily by Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO), which has grown into the city's main international and domestic gateway since opening in 2021. It typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines, with some low-cost options on domestic routes; fares can be competitive for nearby Chinese cities but may rise for long-haul flights. The airport sits about 40–50 km northeast of Qingdao city center; taxi or ride-hailing trips usually take 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly CNY 120–220, while airport express buses and shuttle services are available for lower fares and take around 60–90 minutes. Pros include modern facilities, plentiful lounges and clear signage; cons can be the longer transfer time to central areas compared with the older Liuting site and occasional congestion at peak periods.

Guangzhou is served by two main airports: Guangzhou Baiyun International (CAN), the city’s primary international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, and Foshan Shadi (FUO), a smaller airport that can serve budget and regional flights. Baiyun is about 30–40 km north of downtown Guangzhou; typical transfers include metro line/extensions or airport express buses taking roughly 40–60 minutes (fares usually modest for metro, slightly higher for express buses or taxis). Foshan lies southwest, nearer some suburban districts, with ground transfers ranging 30–50 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: Baiyun offers extensive international connections, lounges and multiple carrier options; Foshan can be more budget-friendly and quicker for travelers from nearby areas. Cons: both can be affected by peak-hour congestion and transfers to the core city may take longer than in compact European cities.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Qingdao to Guangzhou is $115 (May 2026), while the maximum is $223 (August 2026). On average, a ticket costs $175–$408.
