Urumqi is served mainly by Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC), the region’s primary international and domestic hub that typically handles most long-haul and Xinjiang flights rather than a separate budget-only field. Major carriers usually include China Southern, Air China and several regional airlines, with some low-cost services available on domestic routes. The airport sits about 16–20 km northwest of downtown Urumqi; travel time is commonly 30–50 minutes by taxi (fare in the range of modest local rates) or roughly 40–60 minutes by airport bus/coach with low-cost tickets. Pros: modern facilities and broad route coverage; cons: can be busy during peak travel periods and ground transport may be slower in heavy traffic.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) is Ho Chi Minh City’s primary international hub, serving most full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines on regional and long-haul routes. Located about 6–8 km north of District 1, it’s typically a short 15–45 minute taxi or ride-hail trip depending on traffic; meter fares can be modest but vary by time and route, with buses and airport shuttles offering cheaper alternatives. The airport usually has good terminal amenities and numerous flight options, though congestion and occasional delays can occur at peak times. Pros: convenient central location and many flight choices; Cons: city traffic can extend transfer times and terminals can be busy. Can Gio and other small airfields are not used for commercial passenger services to Ho Chi Minh City; most travelers will exclusively use Tan Son Nhat for scheduled flights. For domestic alternatives, nearby regional airports on connecting itineraries may be served by budget carriers, typically with lower ticket prices but fewer amenities and less frequent services. Ground connections to the city center from these smaller fields can be limited, often requiring pre-arranged transfers or longer multimodal journeys. Pros: occasionally lower fares and niche routes; Cons: limited public transport, fewer facilities, and less frequent schedules.
