Arriving at a new airport can be a little unpleasant, especially when you need to think about how to get to your hotel or the city center. At Sanya Phoenix (SYX), there are several options that differ in price, comfort and travel time. This information will help you choose the optimal way to get around.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exit from the terminal. Always pay attention to designated stands and avoid drivers who offer their services inside the airport, as they may be unlicensed. Make sure the driver turns on the meter or agree on a price in advance. It is important to have small change with you, as not all drivers may have change from large bills. Usually, a trip to the center of Sanya takes from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic, and the cost can range from 20 to 40 euros.
A private transfer is a convenient but more expensive option. Usually, after booking, you will be sent information about the meeting point (usually near the exit from the terminal, with a sign with your name). Be sure to check that the driver knows your name and flight number. The price for a private transfer is fixed in advance, which allows you to avoid unpleasant surprises. Travel time is approximately the same as by taxi, but you get a more comfortable and personalized service. The cost can range from 50 to 80 euros, depending on the type of car and distance.
Shared shuttles and minibuses are a more economical option, especially if you are traveling alone or with a small group. They usually run along a certain route and make stops at different hotels. However, keep in mind that the travel time may be longer, as the shuttle will wait until enough passengers are gathered and stop at other hotels. The cost of a shared shuttle is usually from 10 to 20 euros.
From Sanya Phoenix Airport, you can get to the city by bus or, in some cases, by train (depending on the availability of a direct connection). Buses are the cheapest option, but they may be inconvenient, especially if you have a lot of luggage. Travel time may be significantly longer than by taxi or shuttle. Trains may be faster, but they usually depart from another terminal or station, so you may need an additional transfer.
Popular destinations from Sanya Phoenix Airport include the city center of Sanya, Yalong Bay resort, Hainan city and other tourist attractions. Travel time and transportation costs depend on the specific destination.
