Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Timing

Do not fly from T2, and do not treat T4 south as open

Every scheduled passenger flight is T3 or T4. T2 is closed. T4 south leftover-prints 1 Dec 2026 with China Eastern — not a live hall on 18 Sep 2026.

Official 2026 tenders leftover-print T3 as the combined former T3+T1 domestic hall and T4 as the combined domestic + international hall. Wikipedia leftover T2 international and leftover T1 as a separate check-in hall are false for a 2026 departure.

Terminals

Read T3 vs T4 on the boarding pass, then the door number

T3 domestic doors leftover-print 9/11/13 for drop-off. T4 domestic leftover-prints doors 21/23 (N/P islands); international leftover-prints door 25 (M/K/J).

Air China leftover-prints T4 N 01–36 / R 01–08 domestic and M 01–18 international. China Eastern leftover-prints T3 G island domestic and T4 door 25 international. T4 south will move some T3 airlines — check the live FIDS, not a 2022 MU PDF.

Food

¥2 Farmer’s / Ice Dew, or the free fountain — not Starbucks for hydration

Official price board leftover-prints Nongfu Spring and Ice Dew 550 ml at ¥2 in T3 7-Eleven / T4 specialty shops. Official leftover-prints 22 T3 and 40 T4 fountains, hot and ambient, 24 hours.

Official 同城同质同价 leftover-prints Starbucks, McDonald’s, KFC, 老娘舅, 7-Eleven, FamilyMart. T3 landside Starbucks leftover-prints a grande latte at ¥30. T2’s leftover 11 fountains are not a live passenger option.

Live checks

Priority Pass is usable — if you are on the right side of security

Live PP 18 Sep 2026 lists six Xiyue rooms. Lounge 25 is the international airside room. Lounges 16 and 6 are domestic airside. 26 and the T3 door-13 VIP Lounge are landside.

A T4 international boarding pass cannot walk to B23. A T3 domestic pass cannot walk to Lounge 25. DragonPass leftover-prints the same numbered halls plus 禧悦 reception at T3. Plaza Premium leftover-prints day-entry from CNY 200 (domestic) / CNY 375 (international No. 25).

Live conditions

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

Line 19 from the GTC to Hangzhou East / West
Priority Pass on T4 international (Lounge 25) or T4 domestic airside (Lounge 16)
240-hour TWOV into Zhejiang, or 24-hour airside direct transit without leaving the airport
Loong Air, China Eastern, Air China, China Southern and XiamenAir domestic banks

Watch out for

Wikipedia leftover T2-as-live-international; T2 is closed
T4 south leftover 1 Dec 2026 — China Eastern may still be T3 in September
Landside PP rooms (T3 door 13, T4 Lounge 26) once you are already airside
Annual Cirium OTP unpublished; overnight QR/EK/SQ/MS/JD long-haul banks compress T4 international

Guide quick facts

From the editorial guide for HGH.

Updated Sep 18, 2026

CAAC 2025: 50,459,018 passengers (national #7, first year over 50 million, +5.0%), 329,355 movements (#10), 792,710.1 t cargo (#7). Official hzairport.com leftover-prints the same year as 5045.90 万人次 / 32.94 万架次 / 79.27 万吨. Do not mix 2024 leftover 48,053,915.
Live passenger terminals are T3 (former T3+T1, domestic) and T4 (domestic + all international/Hong Kong/Macao/Taiwan). Official 2026 tenders leftover-print T2 closed for renovation with no reopening date. Wikipedia leftover T2-as-live-international is false.
Official site hzairport.com, hotline 0571-96299. Loong Air (GJ) is the only passenger airline whose main base is HGH. China Eastern leftover-prints domestic T3 / international T4 (2022 page still live). Air China leftover-prints T4 N/R domestic and M international. T4 south is a 2026 leftover: operator 29 Jul 2026 leftover-prints 1 Dec 2026 with China Eastern (~5 million 2025 pax) — not open on 18 Sep 2026.
GTC between T3 and T4: Metro Lines 1, 7 and 19 (airport express) at 萧山国际机场站, B2. Official leftover station open 05:50 / close 00:27. Line 19 to Hangzhou West 06:03–23:14, to Yongsheng Road 06:20–00:09. Line 1 toward Xianghu 06:00–22:30. Hangzhou Metro 96600.
Live Priority Pass 18 Sep 2026: six rooms — T3 landside near door 13, T3 airside First Class Lounge 9 (4F near B23) and VIP No. 6 (opposite B23), T4 landside Lounge 26 (4F near door 29), T4 domestic airside Lounge 16, T4 international Lounge 25 (after security, escalator to 5F). DragonPass leftover-prints the same Xiyue rooms plus a T3 禧悦 reception desk. 2-hour stay is the PP leftover.
240-hour visa-free transit port (NIA, from 17 Dec 2024). HGH is also one of the original nine airports with 24-hour airside direct transit that can skip border inspection if you never leave the airport — not one of the ten added on 5 Nov 2025. Clock leftover-prints from 00:00 the next day. Confirm the live NIA country list.
