Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and domestic flights since it replaced the older Liuting field. It typically serves full-service carriers and growing low-cost routes, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on airline and season. The airport lies about 35–40 km from Qingdao’s downtown core; drivers and taxis usually take 35–50 minutes, while the airport metro line or express buses can take roughly 45–70 minutes with fares commonly in the low single-digit to low double-digit RMB range. Pros: modern facilities, strong international connectivity and relatively quick access by expressway. Cons: travel time to central Qingdao can be longer than from the former closer airport, and transfers during peak hours may feel busy.
Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) is the primary international gateway for Xi’an and the surrounding Shaanxi region, serving a mix of full-service carriers and many Chinese budget airlines on domestic and regional routes. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the ancient city center, transfer times can be 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or around 35–45 minutes by the airport express train plus metro; taxis and ride-hailing fares typically run higher than public transit while the train/metro combo is usually the most economical option. The airport offers convenient modern facilities and international connections, though the distance from downtown can make transfers slightly longer and peak-hour road traffic can add delays.
