Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and regional flights and serving carriers from full-service national airlines to international and low-cost operators. Located about 40–45 km northwest of downtown Xi’an, transfer times to the city center typically range from 35–55 minutes by express train or shuttle and 45–70 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares on the airport express bus and local trains are generally modest while taxis can cost noticeably more. Pros: modern facilities, frequent connections, and a wide choice of carriers; cons: the airport sits relatively far from central Xi’an, so ground transfers can add travel time and occasional congestion.
Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (KWL) serves as the primary gateway to Guilin and the surrounding Guangxi region, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a major global transfer point. It typically handles a mix of full-service Chinese carriers and low-cost domestic operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and route. The airport sits about 25–30 km southwest of downtown Guilin; taxi rides generally take 30–45 minutes and can be inexpensive by local standards, while airport shuttle buses reach the city center in roughly 40–60 minutes for a modest fare. Pros: newer terminal facilities, direct connections to scenic-area buses; cons: longer transfer times to central hotels and fewer long-haul frequencies compared with larger Chinese hubs.
Fly direct from Xi’an to Guilin for the fastest, most convenient way to move from the historic heart of Shaanxi to Guangxi’s famous karst landscape — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy the scenery. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and delivers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the extra convenience.
