Flights here can be pricier than smaller domestic fields, particularly on international routes, while budget options are available on domestic sectors. The airport sits roughly 16–20 km northwest of downtown Urumqi; taxis typically take about 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often in a moderate range, and airport shuttle buses or intercity coaches provide cheaper, 40–60 minute transfers. Pros: extensive route network and modern facilities; cons: peak-hour traffic and longer transfer time from the city compared with inner-city airports.
