- Books written in English! Take a left after security and walk for a minute. You'll see a jewelry store and Samsonite store on your left. The book stand is behind them, English section on the right.Upvoted Mar 16
- William KanJuly 5, 2016Relatively small airport, in the centre of the city, which is even closer to the city than Xiamen North Railway Station if you take the hi-speed train here.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
- One luggage check in per person. You can have two luggage packed into one at the packaging area as long aa it doesnt exceed 23kg. When u get there haggle for 15rmb instead of the usual 50rmb. Its safe
- Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGMarch 20, 2015Although it's a small airport but crowded by mostly 90% of local peoples, so it's noisy & uncomfortable here
- If you get stuck with terminals 18-21 in domestic, go upstairs over by the snack area... Plenty of seating and you overlook the area.
- Free wifi if you use cmcc. Connect to CMCC-xmairport-free. Input your mobile number and a password will be sent to you by text message. Faster than the xm-airport-free wifi
- If you're at the departure area but find that KFC is full, just take the escalator/elevator down to the arrival area's KFC, there will probably be more space there.
- The international counters open at 6 in the morning~ and there is a huge KFC on the right of you arrive early and hungry~
- Johannes IdrisJune 12, 2017Small airport, tranfser more than 12 hours you have to take all your baggage out and check in again. Difficult to communicate in english.
- Jung KimSeptember 7, 2020Most painful Covid-19 test i’ve taken so far. After immigration, you’ll be transported to some building for another process. After that, you are taken to the hotel downtown. Fukin tedious!!!
- If you are taking the earliest flight in the morning, do remember to leave earlier otherwise you will be in a hurry
- TingSeptember 10, 2014One of those smaller china airports with decent toilets that comes with automatic plastic covers on the seats.
- Kamil KrupaMay 13, 2013There is Starbucks around gate 23 so don't pay those crazy prices Atty the other cafe here. Starbucks wifi password: starbucks
- Doc EmerOctober 29, 2012Cebu Pacific check-ins are 1 hour only. You won't be able to enter the international gate no matter how early you are.
- Martin BrownJuly 6, 2013Poor quality drinks at high prices. It's so easy to set up a good quality coffee shop with some trained staff and have a pricing point where people don't mind paying a little extra. Not 58 RMB!
- Veronique LeeNovember 20, 2018ATM is in the departures area, which closes at night if you arrivr late!
- xm-airport-free wifi easy access esp to those who don't have china phone numbers as other free wifi still need code
- They say that if you can be consistently late you can be consistently early. I wish this would happen for the air travel in china. Can only hope.
- Steve KatzJanuary 4, 2014There is a Starbucks by gate 26. It is much less expensive than The other coffee shops.
- Oscar ChungJanuary 1, 2013Free wifi at Reading Coffee. There are 2 of them in the airport. Decent coverage and speed.
- BeLe ChenJune 13, 2011If you think you'll be overweight, check in at the counters where the younger staffs are. They're more forgiving than the old ones :)
- If you want to take a taxi without waiting you could go upstairs to take the one from which the passenger just goes off
- Chas PopeFebruary 10, 2015The general airport free internet needs a Chinese mobile number for registration. Very slow for international websites (Feb 2015)
- Boris LiuJune 17, 2014Wifi pwd at the international departure for Ishijah Coffee is "12345678". Enjoy.
- Note: Even though Hong Kong is still in China, all flights there must be processed through the international departures desk!
- Marklin AngJuly 7, 2013External batteries, portable chargers, lighters, and other flammable items are not allowed when checking in baggage.
- Free wifi at Ishijah Coffee, but don't go there. At 58 RMB for a latte you'll have to remortgage the house just to get your dose of caffeine. That price would be ridiculous in London, let alone Xiamen
- Password for Ishijah coffee wifi before passing through security check is 88888888
- Free WiFi for China mainland mobile number. Some area can give free WiFi under China unicom.
- Oceane S. ZHAONovember 3, 2012It costs about 45 RMB, and 25 mins from Gulangyu to the airport though Victory Road.
