Haikou Airport review by K Chen
14 March 2008 Customer Rating :
Haikou Airport is not too bad, but the toilet facilities are a bit dirty. They do not provide toilet
paper on the toilets, so you'll need to get some paper from the paper towel supply next to the
toilets. Check-in gates don't seem to be crowded at all. When I got to security, I thought it would
take quite long, but it had been really fast; 2 minutes to scan my hand luggage. After security,
there is a cafe bar located before you enter onto the terminal. Now this is where it gets hectic.
You simply cannot breathe while you're trying to capture a picture of a plane on the tarmac. The
people just smoke and smoke and basically, you could just see everyone smoking in the bar. When I
approach the toilets in the waiting hall, I see them as third class squat toilets. They are so dirty
and no one seems to clean them with detergent. This is what is hectic for foreigners, but I am
Chinese, so I would understand this. The waiting hall showing departures do not have English read on
them, so you have to understand a bit of Chinese to get through the airport as efficiently as you can.
Haikou Airport review by Xuess Wee
1 January 2005 Customer Rating : n/a
The airport of the provincial capital of Haikou on Hainan Island, China. Dominated by Hainan
Airlines and China Southern Airlines. The exterior looked a little dated and the interior looked a
little yellow with age though the check-in counters and washrooms certainly were up-to-date. Custom
and security clearance were done smoothly and efficiently. The main airport lobby was a little dark
but it was certainly buzzing with activities. The "International Terminal" serving Dragonair and Air
Macau was tucked into an inconspicuous corner and not properly marked. I did not see any signs,
either in English or Chinese. Touts littered the airport exits. If you do not mind the haggling,
50-60RMB should be about right to get you into the city, if not, go for the Airport Shuttle bus.
Cost you only 25RMB and you can grab a taxi from its terminal for only 10RMB to anywhere within the
city itself.
