Jinan, China · Asia-Pacific
Shandong’s capital airport is still a single T1 with Metro Line 3 at Airport South — paid for with leftover T2 desk maps, a Priority Pass room that is MU/FM-only, and a visa stack that is TWOV, not Qingdao’s skip-immigration.
An editorial 0–10 score. The overall is exactly the weighted sum of six traveler categories — not a Google rating and not a poll.

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Domestic and international check-in are still the 2005 hall plus south and north piers. T2 is not a public island on 19 Sep 2026.
South pier opened 30 Dec 2015. North international pier opened July 2021. Third-party leftover Shandong T2 desks 13–16 and DragonPass leftover 73号 T2 CIP are leftover. Metro Airport South serves T1, not the unfinished T2 GTC.
9 Air leftover 30. China Southern leftover 40. Shandong leftover online 60 / bags 90. Arrive 2 hours domestic, 3 hours international.
MU leftover international still wants desks 61–63 even after an online pass. Late-arrival desks are not a published SLA. Confirm the airline app the morning you fly.
No official fountain map. DragonPass leftover Dicos at Gates 1 and 17, 乌鸡米线 at Gate 2, 南小馆 at Gate 20.
Liquids cannot walk the checkpoint. CAAC leftover nationwide 3C power-bank ban — carry-on only. Landside VIP Area C is before security and is not a substitute for an airside bottle.
240-hour TWOV is live at TNA with a Shandong-wide stay. 24-hour skip-immigration is TAO / DLC. Official leftover T2 maps are leftover.
NIA leftover 57 countries / 65 ports as of 20 Aug 2026 (Kyrgyzstan / Vietnam added). Clock leftover-prints from 00:00 the next day. Stay leftover is Shandong, not a three-province wander. Read the ticket island before you taxi.
