Yantai Penglai International Airport (YNT) serves as the main gateway to Yantai and the surrounding Shandong peninsula, functioning as a regional international and domestic hub rather than a large global transfer airport. It typically hosts a mix of Chinese carriers and some low-cost or regional operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and route. The airport sits about 15–30 km north of central Yantai; road transfer by taxi or airport shuttle usually takes 30–50 minutes and can be relatively inexpensive, while private transfer or car hire is quicker but costlier. Pros include modern facilities and manageable security lines; cons can include limited late-night connections and fewer long-haul service options compared with bigger national hubs.
Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) serves as the primary international and regional gateway for Xi’an, functioning as a major hub for full-service and low-cost Chinese carriers alike. It typically handles most long-haul and domestic flights and is often perceived as offering mid-range fares compared with coastal hubs. The airport sits about 40–50 km northwest of downtown Xi’an; travelers can reach the city by express train in roughly 25–35 minutes, by airport shuttle bus in about 45–60 minutes, or by taxi in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by mode. Pros include modern facilities and frequent connections; cons can be the distance from the center and peak-hour road congestion.
