Cheap Flights from Sanya to Heihe — $203

Heihe’s main airport, Heihe Aihui Airport (HEK), functions mainly as a regional gateway serving domestic flights and occasional cross-border charters to nearby Russian cities. It typically handles China’s domestic carriers and regional low-cost operators rather than major international hub airlines, so fares can be relatively modest compared with larger Chinese airports. The airport lies about 16–20 km from central Heihe, with taxi rides usually taking 25–35 minutes and costing a modest sum; local buses and hotel shuttles can take longer but are often cheaper. Pros: compact terminal, short walk times and straightforward security. Cons: limited international connections and fewer on-site amenities compared with bigger airports.

Sanya is served primarily by Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SYX), the island’s main international gateway that typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and regional/budget airlines connecting mainland China and nearby Asian destinations. Flights can be perceived as mid-priced compared with major mainland hubs, with seasonal peaks during holiday periods. The airport lies about 15–20 km northwest of downtown Sanya; ground transfers include taxis (roughly 25–40 minutes, fares variable), airport shuttle buses and occasional hotel transfers, while private rides or prebooked cars can be quicker depending on traffic. Pros: compact terminal, relatively short security queues off-peak, and direct resort transfers. Cons: can be crowded in high season and limited late-night connectivity.
