    flying.

    replaced civil 莱山. Named 烟台蓬莱国际机场 leftover April 2014 (was 潮水).
    lib/airports.json leftover pins 37.401667, 121.371667 — that is closed
    Laishan, not this runway. Live leftover 37.65722, 120.98722 in 蓬莱区潮水镇, ~43
    km from Zhifu.

    240-hour TWOV applies from 17 Dec 2024. Stay leftover is Shandong-wide plus
    the 24-province map. 24-hour sterile TWOV applies at every open port.
    24-hour skip-immigration does not — Shandong leftover of that add-on is TAO
    from 5 Nov 2025, not YNT.

    title: Domestic desks now close at 30 minutes
    detail: >-
      That same notice also opened an air-rail desk and a
      Yantai–Beijing/Shanghai special counter. International/HMT leftover still
      needs the CIQ extra; do not copy the 30-minute domestic cut onto a Seoul
      boarding pass.
    summary: >-
      From 00:00 on 6 Sep 2025 the operator shortened domestic check-in
      close-out to 30 minutes before STD.

      T2 3F international side.

# Yantai Penglai International Airport (YNT)

A brand-new single T2 in Penglai, 43 km from Zhifu with no metro: easy once you are inside, slow on the road, and much smaller internationally than the leftover destination tables claim.
