From which airport is it easiest [less cumbersome and the fewest possible airport irritations] to fly to Dalian: Hong Kong, Seoul or Beijing?
11 years 16 weeks ago in Transport & Travel - China
Beijing - Dalian and Dalian - Beijing about 20 direct flights per day, flying time under one hour.
Hong Kong - Dalian and Dalian - Hong Kong - one direct flight per day, DREADFULLY expensive, all other flights through Beijing per above.
Dalian - Seoul and Seoul - Dalin - about seven direct flights depending upon the day, most reasonably priced.

Ah, that's very helpful. I thought the Beijing option would be easier.
Hong Kong, Seoul & Beijing all have nice airports. Personally, I would pick Beijing so you only have to go through customs once (unless you are just doing short layovers). If you are doing layovers of 24 hours or more, then I would choose HK or Seoul since either city is a heck of a lot nicer than Beijing.
Welcome to Dalian. Just in time for the insane wind & cold season.
I will do Beijing, then. Plan to fly out from Johannesburg just after Christmas. I'm actually going to work in Dalian. As for the cold and the wind - yipppppppppeeeeee! I've lived in the Arabian Desert for almost six years [up to 55 Celsius in summer], so I can do with some cold and wind. What about rain? Does Dalian get much rain?

They do get a little rain, but mostly in the winter it is snow and sleet. Dress warm because you are going to be very, very cold when you go outside. But Dalian is a great place, I miss it a lot.
