From Terminals & Navigation

T1: original 1990 hall, closed to passenger flights (international moved out in August 2017). Not your check-in.
T2A/T2B: last four airlines (Sichuan, China Express, Donghai, Hunan) moved to T3 on 23 Dec 2025. Operator leftover-prints T2 will later be process-updated and used together with T1 — no 2026 passenger-flight date. Wikipedia leftover “T2 handles domestic” is stale.
T3A: Foster + Partners hall opened 29 Aug 2017. Check-in L4 and B1, domestic arrivals L2, international processing, Plaza Premium, China Southern Corridor G, Super Species. Line 10 station is in the GTC under T3.
T3B: Zaha Hadid / CSWADI satellite, trial 28 Mar 2025, opened 9 Apr 2025. Domestic only. 360,000 m². Check-in and bag claim stay T3A. APM between T3A and T3B is airside, operated with CRT. Do not treat T3B as an international hall — AirportsNow leftover that it takes “select international” is false.
Four runways. The fourth leftover-prints in use from late 2024. Phase 1/2/3/4 history is real; Wikipedia Phase V table leftover-prints “expected 2022” and 70 million — leftover vs the April 2025 official 80 million design figure.
Airline islands leftover 23 Dec 2025: Sichuan at 3D; China Express / Donghai / Hunan plus a 19 Dec cluster (Xiamen, Spring, Jiangxi, Juneyao, Loong, Hebei, Chengdu, Kunming, Ruili, Okay, 9 Air, Air Guilin, Qingdao, LJ, Colorful Guizhou) at 3J. Confirm the live island board — leftover vs leftover if an airline moved again.
Minimum connection leftover-prints on unofficial pages as 50/75/90 minutes. Official cqa.cn did not publish those cells in this pass — use the ticket’s MCT and do not treat AirportsNow as a tariff.
