No luxury shops but plenty of food. Starbucks coming up soon. But for now, just local / Chinese food. Big and clean airport. Get the luggage trollies with entertainment screens to pass time.Upvote35DownvoteUpvoted Feb 15
Can't get enough of those flower petal cakes! No need to sweat if you miss the main cake store, every other shop in the terminal will be selling the same thing!Upvote31DownvoteUpvoted 1 week ago
StephanieFebruary 6, 2013Don't forget to treat yourself to some over-the-bridge noodles before entering gated terminal. Mushrooms are the speciality, including porcini!

Mohan AmarasiriApril 6, 2015The place is huge and have so many facilities like fast food shops. But it is easy if you have chinese Yuan at your hand rather than dollars.

Excellent, modern airport. I'm always happy to fly out of here. Also, the China Eastern lounge is pretty nice: large and open with lots of food, snacks, and drinks to choose from.Upvote4Downvote
Eugene LooSeptember 7, 2013You can now take the subway from the east bus station. Takes about 30 minutes. 5rmb. When all the subway lines open it'll be much more convenient to get around KMG!Upvote5Downvote
There's a KFC in B1 floor with nice environment, plenty of seats, and charging station. Egg tart is highly recommended :-)Upvote2Downvote
Every single time I’m here, I hear announcements calling out names or urging individuals to board. Is this airport easy to get lost in, or are people here just accustomed to being not very punctual?

Wenyi ChuApril 29, 2019If you have international transfer simply follow signs on the arrival floor. Then use the internal lift to head to third floor of departure check-ins and security. No@need to exit on arrival floor.Upvote1Downvote
EnvelopsOctober 8, 2013The customs for is filled with people and the efficieny is rather low, which will take up to nearly 1 hr. free wifi. cold in the evening, don't forget a blanket if you plan to stay late at night.Upvote1Downvote
You can get free wifi only if you have a chinese mobile, you will receive a username & password via a text message and than use it to log in on the airport network.Upvote1Downvote
Jan VerplanckeFebruary 19, 2013View from the airport in Kunming. Few months in action now, and starting to get there...all was working...so far. Flight delayed of course, but that's China

Lani AikoDecember 30, 2018It wasn’t that the airport was great, but the airport staff were helpful, WiFi was decent, and the gates had plenty of comfy seating areas. For catching a red eye, not too bad.

Pornrapee AbhakornFebruary 2, 2019Very BIG sand clean but few staff can speak English. Don’t forget to fill out Departures Card before exit via Immigration.

喵 小爱October 5, 2021very few plugs works well，just check tower power station with many chargers:)Upvote1Downvote
Quite a huge airport. Food/drink is extremely expensive & free wi-fi only on China Mobile users.Upvote1Downvote
Megan MastersNovember 16, 2018Massive airport. The international terminal is limited on food options, and I got food poisoning from the noodle joint. Note that those yellow cans are tea - I was convinced it was beer...

Lucero ViktoriaSeptember 10, 2014This airport is really cool. Take some time to look around and snap a few pictures. Wish I had!UpvoteDownvote
If they have the name "international", non-china mobile phones should be able to join the Wi-Fi. Just a thought...UpvoteDownvote
JernejFebruary 23, 2015Taxi prices can vary a lot. Ask for price and make a deal before you go in. Should be 80-100元.UpvoteDownvote
JohnDecember 2, 2012Nit bad airport at all but remember to fire uo the VPN to get around the great firewall of China

Shajjad MustafaApril 20, 2016They should install hand washer in the toilet, specially for Muslims. Still the airport is huge. Need some kind of new vehicle to move around the airport.UpvoteDownvote

Steven DoyleJuly 25, 2016Very persistent taxi / hotel pushers - avoid then like the plagueUpvote1Downvote
This is a big airport. Make sure on your way back you add extra time for getting to your gate. Also security process is pretty bad and creates long lines.UpvoteDownvote
Huge but poorly planned airport. Not efficient at all...

Prepare to get confused by the escalators n elevatorsUpvote1Downvote
Kenny NairSeptember 11, 2014Food is crappy at the local Chinese restaurants. Only consolation is the Starbucks coffee and MacDonald.UpvoteDownvote- By the way, if you can go to VIP LOUNGE of SkyTeam you will realize is not good enough for international flyers!!! It's V16 lounge...horrible for such international airportUpvoteDownvote
- Shajjad MustafaApril 19, 2013seriously how big can it be? looks like a person need to be healthy enough to do marathon inside this air port.Upvote2Downvote
Niklas NSeptember 14, 2012Get your coffee before entering the domestic departure...or expect to pay at least 50 quai.UpvoteDownvote
VikFebruary 16, 2014No lounges inside, just benches to spend the night, and the airport is cold. Numerous hotel reps are cornering potential customers right at the arrivals like vultures.UpvoteDownvote- Not so crowded as other times...and all flights seems on timeUpvoteDownvote
