Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Hall

T3 only — T2 leftover is paused, 二甲 leftover is not a door

Every live domestic and international leftover uses the 18 Aug 2019 T3 building. T2 leftover is not a passenger door on 20 Sep 2026. 南通新机场 leftover at 通州区二甲镇 is a 2027 start, not this IATA.

Official leftover 候机楼面积5.2万平方米, 11 jetbridges, 30 desks, 14 security lanes, 34 stands. ICAO leftover ZSNT is not a public slug. Do not merge SHA / PVG / WUX / CZX / YTY as this curb.

Timing

Official leftover dies at 30 / 40 minutes — sit 90–100

Operator leftover: arrive 2 hours early; domestic leftover stops 30 minutes before departure, international leftover 40. Sit the ticket — some metal leftover prints a different desk.

T3 leftover signs 21 Jun 2026 still print 航班起飞前15分钟关闭登机口. Desk leftover dies 30/40 — do not sit the operator's ~30-minute boarding leftover as the live gate close. Face leftover is not TWOV. There is no leftover CLEAR / TSA PreCheck product. Liquids leftover follow CAAC 100 ml.

Food

Sit the Gate 5 loft at the meal window; landside leftover is 老娘舅

FLYERT leftover Mar 2025 and a Q1 2026 PP walk still get 热食 / 泡面 / 如皋萝卜干 in the upstairs CIP. Off-window leftover is snacks. Landside leftover 老娘舅 is 值机口向左50米, DragonPass leftover 09:30–20:00.

Starbucks leftover T3 2F 零售商区001 (工商 leftover opened 5 Aug 2020). Do not copy leftover KFC at CFDT-2 as a live T3 kitchen — that 2018 registration sat on the paused T2 campus.

TWOV

24-hour TWOV leftover is sterile; 240-hour leftover does not enter here

NIA leftover does not list 南通兴东 as a 240-hour port. Skip-immigration leftover is NKG, not NTG. FlightMapper leftover still prints Shenzhen Osaka ZH691 daily from 29 Mar 2026 15:30 — confirm the day's 航班计划表.

Leftover 2025 summer ZH9085 Hong Kong / ZH8035 Macau were 2025 banks. Wikipedia leftover Vientiane / Kuala Lumpur / Phnom Penh is not a September timetable. Confirm the day's board before you plan TWOV around an international wing that may be dark.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

Domestic hops into Nantong / central Jiangsu on a single 2019 hall
A leftover ¥2 D23 / city bus if you are not hunting a metro under T3
A Gate 5 meal-window loft when you already hold Priority Pass, DragonPass, or a listed bank card
A thin Osaka bank with 24-hour sterile TWOV, not 240-hour entry

Watch out for

T2 / T1-as-check-in / 二甲新机场 / metro-as-open leftover are not live — one 3,400 m 4E strip and the 2019 T3 hall are the passenger product
240-hour TWOV leftover does not enter at NTG; Jiangsu leftover of that product is NKG / WUX / YTY
Domestic leftover desks die at 30 minutes; international leftover 40 — leftover 2025 Hong Kong / Macau metal is not a September promise
Do not copy leftover KFC CFDT-2, leftover ¥8 taxi, leftover 18 km as the operator distance, leftover ZSNT as a public slug, leftover 4D Wikipedia, or leftover NKG skip-immigration

Updated Sep 20, 2026

Live passenger campus on 20 Sep 2026 is T3 only — the 18 Aug 2019 00:00 hall in 通州市通州区兴东街道. China Civil Aviation News leftover: old hall lights went out after the last 17 Aug flight; every passenger leftover moved that midnight. T2 leftover (2014 international hall) and original T1 leftover are not public check-in doors. T1 leftover was rebuilt as a 公务机楼 with 恒力 / 苏航 in 2023 — that is not a scheduled-airline island. P1/P2 leftover paused with T2. Do not walk in expecting a second passenger terminal.
One live 4E runway leftover 18/36 3,400 m (official leftover 跑道及平滑道长度3400米 / 飞行区等级4E). Jiangsu CAAC leftover upgraded the field to 4E on 19 Aug 2019, the day after T3 opened. ZH Wikipedia leftover still prints 4D and a 6,000 m² hall — that is leftover-stale vs the 5.2万 m² T3. Elevation leftover 4.93 m. Operator leftover 南通机场集团有限公司 (official 2018 group). Inquiry leftover 0513-86860000; complaints leftover 0513-86860315; VIP leftover 0513-86860666. Official leftover https://www.ntcaac.com/. Do not invent ZSNT as a public slug.
CAAC calendar 2025: 4,161,852 passengers (national #53, +1.4% from 4,102,477), 38,305 movements (#71, −3.4%), 70,629.9 t cargo (#41, +2.8%). Huaon leftover 416.19 万人次 / +1.4% / 7.06 万吨 / 3.83 万架次 matches that rounding band. No published 放行正常率 — profile onTimePercentage 0.
CAAC Chinese leftover 南通/兴东. IATA NTG / ICAO ZSNT. Civil leftover 24 Aug 1993 (Jiangsu's earliest civil field). Named leftover 南通兴东国际机场 30 Mar 2016. Class-1 air port leftover 11 Mar 2015. Official leftover ~10 km from downtown Nantong / ~100 km from SHA / ~130 km from PVG. lib/airports.json leftover Nantong Xingdong Airport at 32.070822, 120.975703, Asia/Shanghai, name drops International. ZH leftover ~18 km is leftover-conflicting vs the operator's 10 km. This is a civilian international, not an airbase skip.
No metro to the field. Cheapest leftover is city bus / D23 定制专线 ¥2. D23 leftover 灰堆坝–南通机场 from 26 Jun 2023, FGW leftover 17.5 km / 一票制 ¥2, IC leftover 七折. Official leftover bus curb 到达 2–3号出口外; taxi leftover 到达大厅2号出口外. Taxi leftover 通价服 2018 基准: ¥10 / 3 km then ¥1.6 then ¥1.8 after 16 km, ±20% — leftover ¥8/3 km pages are leftover-stale. Typical leftover ¥40–80 / 20–40 min for the official ~10 km hop.
240-hour TWOV is NOT at NTG. NIA leftover 20 Aug 2026 Jiangsu 240-hour ports are NKG / WUX / YTY plus 连云港海港 — Xingdong is not on that list. Stay leftover if you enter elsewhere is Jiangsu-wide + the 24-province map. 24-hour sterile TWOV IS at this open port. 24-hour skip-immigration is NOT (Jiangsu leftover of that product is NKG).
