Qingdao is served primarily by Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO), which opened in 2021 as the city’s main international and domestic hub and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional services. Expect a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost/Chinese domestic airlines operating scheduled flights; fares can be competitive on domestic routes and vary on international sectors. The airport lies about 40–45 km northeast of Qingdao’s central districts; road transfer by taxi or car usually takes 35–50 minutes depending on traffic, while airport express buses and intercity trains can take roughly 45–70 minutes with fares generally modest. Pros include modern facilities, more route options and efficient transfer infrastructure; cons can be longer surface travel times to downtown and occasional congestion during peak holiday periods.

Incheon International (ICN) functions as Seoul’s main international gateway and a major East Asian hub, handling most long-haul carriers and full-service airlines; it can be pricier on average but offers extensive facilities. Located about 48 km west of downtown Incheon/Seoul, transfers typically take 45–70 minutes by airport railroad (AREX) or 60–90 minutes by bus, with fares usually in the mid-range for rapid rail and lower for intercity buses. Pros: modern terminals, plentiful lounges, good onward connections. Cons: distance from central Seoul can add transfer time and cost, especially during peak traffic. Gimpo International (GMP) serves as Seoul’s secondary airport and a convenient domestic and short-haul hub, commonly used by low-cost carriers and regional airlines; fares to nearby destinations are often competitive. It sits roughly 15 km west of central Seoul, with travel times of about 20–40 minutes by subway or 30–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; subway fares are usually low while taxis are moderate. Pros: closer to the city and faster for domestic or short international hops. Cons: fewer long-haul flights and more limited international amenities compared with the larger airport.
