Qingdao Liuting International Airport (TAO) historically served as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, though its role has shifted since the opening of Qingdao Jiaodong International. Liuting typically handled a mix of full-service Chinese carriers and budget airlines, with fares often perceived as mid-range for domestic routes. The airport sits roughly 30–35 km from Qingdao’s central districts; taxis and airport express buses usually take about 45–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service and time of day. Pros: familiar services and straightforward connections to nearby destinations. Cons: longer transit times to downtown and occasional congestion during peak travel periods.
Urumqi is served primarily by Ürümqi Diwopu International Airport (URC), the Xinjiang region’s main international and domestic gateway, and by a smaller general aviation strip used less often. Diwopu typically handles a mix of full-service Chinese carriers and low-cost regional operators, so fares can be competitive for domestic connections while international routes may be pricier. The airport lies about 16–25 km northeast of downtown Ürümqi; surface transfers commonly include airport shuttle buses (roughly 30–50 minutes), taxis (around 30–45 minutes, fares varying by meter and distance), and limited ride-hailing options. Pros: modern terminal, decent route network and customs facilities for international travel. Cons: it can be busy during peak holiday periods and transfers to the city can take longer in heavy traffic.
