Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Treat 30 / 40 / 50 minutes as three different closes

Official leftover domestic close is 30 minutes; international is 40, except Cathay Pacific and Super Air Jet at 50.

International desks leftover open only 2 hours before STD. Self-service leftover dies at 35 minutes. Arrive 2 hours domestic / 2.5 hours international — T2 is three days old and the GTC is not finished.

Terminal

MF / NS / RY plus every international ticket is T2 — everyone else domestic is T1

Since 16 Sep 2026 05:00, T1 is domestic-only. Read the ticket, not leftover C/D/F-island maps.

Spring Airlines leftover is the trap: 9C domestic stays T1, 9C international moved with every other international flight. Wrong-hall leftover: drop to T1 door 6 or T2 door 29 and walk the P1 corridor.

Food

T1 still has the named McDonald’s and 猫茶; T2’s first commercial is 7-Eleven / Starbucks leftover

DragonPass leftover restaurants still pin 主航站楼 — that is T1 until they reprint T2.

Fuzhou Daily leftover first T2 batch >8,000 m² with 7-Eleven, Starbucks, 比音勒芬, and Fuzhou’s first inbound duty-free. No official fountain map in either hall.

Status

TWOV yes — skip-immigration is airside only, and T2 is where that connection happens

240-hour TWOV is live; 24-hour skip-immigration has been live since 5 Nov 2025. Both now inspect in T2.

NIA leftover 57 countries / 24-province stay. A TWOV that leaves the sterile area still needs the temporary-entry stamp. Hainan 30-day visa-free is a different province.

CAAC 2025 (English Wikipedia leftover citing the 26 Feb 2026 ranking xlsx): **16,117,180** passengers (national **#31**, Huaon leftover **+5.3% / +817,400** vs 2024, rank leftover **−1**), **112,326** movements (**#33**, Huaon leftover **+3.9% / +4,200**), **122,474.8 t** cargo (**#32**, Huaon leftover **+20.9% / +21,200 t**). Huaon 0.01-万人次 rounding leftover **1,611.72 万人次 / 11.23 万架次 / 12.25 万吨**. Fujian government leftover **1,611.8 万人 / 11.1 万架次** — use the CAAC integers. Huaon leftover domestic passengers **15,082,200** (Hong Kong / Macao / Taiwan leftover **554,600**) and international **1,035,000** (**6.42%**). Huaon leftover-prints domestic cargo as the **same 12.25 万吨** as the total at **85.39%** — leftover-wrong (share leftover would be ~**10.46 万吨**; international leftover **1.79 万吨** + HMT leftover **1.1 万吨**). Do **not** reprint leftover **6.5 million design capacity** or leftover **2015 10 million** as current.
