JJN · Fujian's third field is an easy one-hall Jinjiang airport with cheap buses and a 30-minute MF desk — the tradeoff is a snack-grade Priority Pass CIP unless you catch a meal window or fly XiamenAir, a single 2,600 m 4D strip, and no metro.
XMN · China’s busiest single-runway international: a daily T3 Gate 17 Priority Pass pin, a flagship 白鹭, and a 24-hour skip-immigration zone — paid for with two halls 3 km apart, a metro station that is not at the airport, leftover Xiang'an-as-live pages, and unpublished annual on-time stats.
