Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) serves as the main international and domestic gateway for Xi’an and Shaanxi province, acting as a regional hub for carriers like Air China, China Eastern, and budget operators such as Spring Airlines. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the city center, journeys by airport express bus typically take 45–75 minutes depending on traffic and cost around a modest fare, while taxi rides can be 40–60 minutes and usually pricier. The airport offers a broad range of services and connections, so it can be convenient for international transfers but may feel busy during peak periods. Travelers benefit from frequent ground links and varied airline choices, though transit times to downtown are longer than at centrally located airports.

Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International (ICN) is the city’s main international hub, handling the bulk of long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many transit connections; it’s about 48–55 km west of downtown and typically perceived as higher-end in facilities and services. Travel to the city center is usually by AREX express (about 45–60 minutes), standard AREX/local trains (50–70 minutes), or airport limousine buses and taxis (60–90 minutes depending on traffic); fares can range from modest rail fares to mid-range taxi costs. Pros: comfortable terminals, extensive amenities, good connectivity for international itineraries. Cons: farther from central Seoul and transfer times can be longer. Gimpo International (GMP) functions more as a domestic and low-cost gateway with a growing share of short-haul international flights to nearby Asian cities. Located roughly 15–20 km west of central Seoul, it’s often chosen for short domestic hops and budget carriers due to quicker check-ins and generally lower perceived fares for regional routes. Transport links include the Seoul subway/AREX lines (about 20–35 minutes to central stations), airport buses (25–45 minutes), and taxis (20–40 minutes); fares are usually lower than those from Incheon for similar journeys. Pros: closer to the city, faster transfers for domestic travel, budget-friendly options. Cons: fewer long-haul services and smaller range of amenities compared with Incheon.
