Two Chengdu airports need separate arrival instructions
Chengdu has two international airports: Shuangliu (CTU) and Tianfu (TFU). The civil aviation authority lists both separately. Keep each group’s booked airport and terminal attached to its flight number, and identify anyone arriving at the other airport as a separate collection. A quoted transfer from Shuangliu should not be reused for Tianfu. If joining a later train or a timed panda-base visit, give that booking and its actual entrance so the connection can be assessed with bags and waiting included.
For a Chengdu–Chongqing programme, decide whether the intercity stage uses rail with local transfers or a vehicle throughout. Chongqing transport planning helps identify the next stage. Include its actual address, luggage and return requirement.
Use the China transport guide for a wider itinerary, or include your flight and final address in an airport group-transfer enquiry.

Prepare your Chengdu journey brief
- Arrival: If your flight uses Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU) or Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), give the airport on your ticket, flight number and arrival date. Add the full Chengdu hotel or venue address; these airport references do not establish a road route or a collection point.
- Separate the longer travel stages: The geographic references put Chongqing (about 269 km) and Xi'an (about 606 km) from Chengdu in a straight line. Choose how the group travels between those cities before requesting each local pickup; a flight or rail stage and a full road itinerary need different transport briefs.
- Group and return: Include passengers, luggage and mobility needs. Put any return date, pickup time and departure flight or train in the message field.

Your Chengdu transport questions
Can we reuse Shuangliu pickup details for a Tianfu arrival?
No. Shuangliu (CTU) and Tianfu (TFU) are separate airports. Give the exact airport and terminal for each flight and ask for its own confirmed meeting instructions.
How do CTU and TFU compare for a Chengdu transfer?
Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU) is about 17 km from the Chengdu map reference in a straight line; Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU) is about 53 km. These figures are not road distances. Base the enquiry on the booked flight and actual destination address; road access and collection arrangements are checked separately.
Can one enquiry cover groups landing at different airports near Chengdu?
List each airport, flight number, arrival time and passenger count separately. If one group lands at CTU and another at TFU, say whether they need separate vehicles or whether you want a combined itinerary assessed. Do not assume a single vehicle can meet both schedules.
What happens if the destination after landing is Chongqing?
Use Chongqing as the actual destination rather than entering only Chengdu as the wider area. Add the hotel or venue address and luggage count so the quote covers the requested end point.
How do the Chongqing and Xi'an stops compare from Chengdu?
From the Chengdu geographic reference, Chongqing is approximately 269.3 km away in a straight line and Xi'an is 606.1 km away. Chongqing is listed in Chongqing; Xi'an is listed in Shaanxi. The more distant stop needs to be treated as a separate stage of the itinerary, including any connections or overnight plans. These are map measurements, not driving distances; a feasible route and vehicle allocation must be assessed in the quotation.
