Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) generally services domestic Chinese flights. There are frequent services to Beijing and Hong Kong, but using Shanghai's domestic Hongqiao or international Pudong airports and connecting by bus or train is also a viable option. International flights are possible. International cities that have service to Hangzhou include Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Seoul, and Singapore.

Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) is approximately 45 minutes - one hour away from the city by taxi. A taxi to the airport is around Y80-90, and you would want to ask if he is willing to take you that far before just jumping in the car with all your bags. A cheaper route would be to buy tickets on for the shuttle service at the Xiaoshan Bus ticket office on Tiyuchang Road next to the KFC just west of Wulin Square. The Shangri-La Hotel also has a shuttle service to the airport for Y50, inquire within. It is highly possible you can also get there by taking a bus from the Dragon Sports Center. The airport has daily flights to Hong Kong, Macao, Seoul, Tokyo, Beijing, Guangzhou, Haikou, Shenzhen, Guilin, Kunming, Wuhan, Ha'erbin, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Urumqi, Xiamen, Jinan, Dalian, Shenyang, Changchun, Qingdao, Fuzhou, Jinjiang, and Sanya. Tusday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday flights go to Wenzhou, Nanning, and Zhuhai. Flights go to Tianjin, Hefei, and Osaka four times weekly. Flights to Bangkok are on Thursday and Saturday; flights to Shantou depart on Wednesday and Saturday. All info is as of July 2005.
