Went through there domestically June 10 and June 12. Everything seemed to work, the airside men's rooms left something to be desired. All else worked including the air-conditioning.

I've been though both international and domestic terminals. The ground staff are very efficient, I have to say. It looks like the ground handing agents are China Eastern Airline and Xianyang airport. However, there is one thing I don't really like which is, the VIP lounges are on the other side of the main terminal. Last time when I was travelling from XIY to AKL, I went to the on the VIP lounge, it was very inconvenient. What I mean is you can't check your bags in at VIP lounges, and staffs in VIP lounge are not friendly at all, I hope this is not a Chinese thing.

The new airport is very clean and very efficient, though a bit oversized and dull. They even have something of a tax-free section. The prices are quite high though. Overall, a pleasant airport to spare some hours.

I travelled through Xian Airport on a 2 day side trip from Beijing from 11th to 13th March. The airport is new and impressive. I've travelled through about 40 airports worldwide, and after quickly retrieving my bag from the luggage carousel, the staff at Xian Airport were the first to check my receipt against the baggage tag. I'm not sure whether this is down to their efficiency, or to the fact that the wrong bags have been taken in the past. Whatever the reason, it was reassuring. I wish other airports would be as vigilant. There are numerous shuttle buses into the city available from the Arrivals area, but I shared a taxi with a very hard bargaining Chinese lady who beat the taxi driver down to 100 yuan. (I'd expected to have to pay more than that on my own). I used the same taxi driver for the return trip at a previously agreed price of 80 yuan. The Departures Area is modern and clean. There's a reasonable restaurant and a few shops before security, and some more shops airside. PA announcements are in Mandarin and English and are clear and frequent. It was a pleasure to travel through Xian Airport.
