Kashgar Laining International Airport

Kashgar, China · Asia-Pacific

Kashgar's T2-plus-rebuilt-T1 4E field is an easy 8–10 km hop with a ¥2 bus and a real sofa CIP — the tradeoff is snack-only lounges, a thin international bank, joint-use weather, and a 240-hour TWOV stamp that Xinjiang does not issue.

Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

T2 leftover is the live main domestic hall (check-in, security, most gates). Arrivals leftover T2 1F doors 2–3 taxi / door 3 buses.
T1 leftover domestic 候机厅 reopened 1 Jul 2025 after a 2024 rebuild — mixed-flow leftover, same-floor transfer. Do not treat T1 as paused-forever and do not treat it as the only international hall without reading the day's signs.

T2 leftover ~12 gates on FLYERT; PP leftover Gate 11 is the CIP pin. Walking leftover inside T2 is minutes, not a pier-train.

T3 leftover is not flying. Nov 2025 leftover 改扩建前期咨询 is master-plan / 可研 / 航行服务 — not a passenger door.

CSAIR leftover still describes the 2009 T1 two-floor split (1F check-in east / arrivals west, 2F hold). That page is leftover-stale against live T2. 9 Air leftover T2 13–14 is the newer pin.

International leftover: 2023 rename leftover still printed T1 as the international hall during fit-out; 9 Air leftover moved international teams to T2 from 15 Jan 2026. Walk the day's 国际 / 国内 signs. Do not copy leftover T1-only international as a hard rule.

No sterile metro, no GTC rail, no overnighting promise — halls follow the last flight, not a 24-hour city terminal.

Ground transport guide

City-transfer, rideshare, train, and parking guidance from the markdown guide.

From Ground Transport & Parking

Cheapest leftover: 公交2路 leftover ¥2 from T2 arrivals door 3 (CSAIR leftover; 114 leftover also printed the door-right 10 m pin), 06:00–21:00 leftover, ~50 min to 人民广场. Ctrip leftover also prints 28路 to the railway station — confirm the day's board.
Middle leftover: 机场快线 leftover ¥15 (CSAIR leftover 8-minute headway; baike leftover 天缘 / 深航 / 丽笙 pins). Do not copy leftover ¥10 2016 pages as current.
Fastest leftover: taxi from arrivals doors 2–3. 喀市发改收费〔2019〕002号 leftover ¥8 / 3 km then ¥1.5/km; night 24:00–08:00 ¥1.8/km; wait leftover 3 min = 1 km; empty-return leftover 6 km+ +50%. Typical leftover ¥20–40 / 15–20 min to the old city. FLYERT leftover Jul 2025 Didi was ~20 min from a 古城 hotel.
No metro. No airport HSR. Do not wait for a leftover 空轨 or a leftover 喀什火车站-under-the-terminal.
Parking leftover from 26 May 2026 00:00 (喀市发改价格〔2026〕3号): 30 min free, then ¥2/hour small / ¥4/hour large; night 22:00–09:00 ¥2/hour cap ¥10. Clocks leftover Beijing time.
Address leftover 喀什市机场路 / 迎宾大道. CSAIR leftover 机场路473号, ~10 km north of the city. Skip leftover 15 km pages.

Tip: Sit a meter if it is running. 喀市发改收费〔2019〕002号 leftover is still what neighbour-city filings cited in Dec 2025. FLYERT leftover Jul 2025 Didi from a 古城 hotel was ~20 min. This is not leftover LXA 65 km return-empty money.
