Sanya’s main airports serve different traveler needs: Sanya Phoenix International (SYX) functions as the primary international and domestic gateway, while nearby Sanya Fenghuang (occasionally referenced in regional contexts) supports seasonal and charter traffic. SYX typically handles full-service carriers and a growing number of low-cost operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season. The airport sits roughly 25–30 km from Sanya city center; taxis and ride-hailing are the most common options (about 30–50 minutes, fares usually moderate), while airport shuttle buses and occasional hotel transfers provide cheaper, slower alternatives. Pros: relatively modern facilities and direct connections to Hainan and some international destinations. Cons: travel time to central beaches can be significant during peak traffic, and prices often rise around holidays.

Fly direct from Sanya to Xi’an for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Hainan’s beaches with Shaanxi’s ancient wonders — no layovers, just more time to explore the Terracotta Army and city streets. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop trip saves hours and offers a more relaxed, comfortable journey worth the small premium.

Xi’an is served primarily by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s main international and domestic hub that typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and several budget airlines. It’s located about 40–45 km northwest of downtown Xi’an; travel to the city center can take roughly 40–60 minutes by airport express train or 50–80 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public shuttle buses and taxis are common—expect shuttle fares to be modest and taxi rides to vary with distance and time of day. Pros: modern facilities, good international connections and a reliable airport train; cons: relatively long transfer distance to central Xi’an and occasional peak-time congestion.
