Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from New York City to Xiamen.

What is the typical flight duration from New York City to Xiamen?

New York City to Xiamen is about 7,870 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from New York City to Xiamen?

There are no non-stop flights between New York City and Xiamen. The shortest connecting routing is on Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong, at 21 hours 10 minutes total (15 hours 35 minutes in the air plus a 4-hour layover), with about six such itineraries a day. Air China via Beijing is the next quickest at 22 hours 20 minutes.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Xiamen?

Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport sits about 12 kilometers northeast of downtown Xiamen, and the city center is most often reached by taxi or ride-hailing. Taxis and Didi rides take roughly 20 minutes and cost around CNY 40–50, making them the most practical and widely used option. An airport express bus runs from the airport to the city center and ports, with tickets around ¥20 and a journey of 30–50 minutes depending on the line. Public buses and the BRT also connect the airport to many parts of the city, though they are slower and less convenient with luggage. The airport shuttle and taxi are the most reliable choices, with the taxi being the fastest door-to-door.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from New York City to Xiamen?

Yes — overnight red-eye connections are available from New York to Xiamen, most commonly on Air China's JFK–Beijing leg departing around 2:05 AM and arriving in Beijing at 6:40 AM, where you connect onward to Xiamen. Cathay Pacific also operates a JFK–Hong Kong red-eye departing about 1:55 AM and landing at 5:30 AM, and EVA Air runs a JFK–Taipei leg departing around 1:25 AM arriving 5:20 AM. There is also a Xiamen Airlines red-eye from Los Angeles to Xiamen itself, departing 11:55 PM and arriving at 6:00 AM, for those routing through LAX.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from New York City to Xiamen?

There is no nonstop flight from New York City to Xiamen. The route is typically served with one-stop connections: Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong (about 21h 10m), China Airlines via Taipei (21h 15m), Air China via Beijing (22h 20m or 23h 10m, with the second leg sometimes on Shandong Airlines), and Xiamen Airlines via Los Angeles (23h 41m). Longer options include EVA Air via Taipei, Asiana Airlines via Seoul, and United Airlines via Seoul. Cathay Pacific is the quickest and most frequent connecting carrier, with six daily patterns through Hong Kong.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Xiamen?

Xiamen has only one commercial airport, Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (XMN). It is about 10 km north of downtown Xiamen and serves as the main gateway to the city, with connections to Gulangyu Island and other local attractions.

How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?

Getting to John F. Kennedy International Airport from downtown New York is easiest by public transportation: the AirTrain connects all terminals to the subway at Jamaica (E, J, Z trains) and Howard Beach (A train), plus the Long Island Rail Road at Jamaica. Taxis offer a flat fare from Manhattan, while ride-share services like Uber provide a convenient but variable-cost alternative. Driving and parking are possible but generally the most expensive and least popular option given traffic and high parking rates. The AirTrain-plus-subway combination is the most popular and cost-effective choice for most travelers.

Are there hotels or sleeping facilities at Xiamen airport?

Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport has a five-star hotel, the Pullman Xiamen Gaoqi Airport, and first class/business lounges. Xiamen Airlines also offers free transfer accommodation for eligible connecting passengers, with a service counter opposite Gate 7 on the first floor of Terminal T3. Nearby hotels include the New East Asia Hotel Xiamen Airport, about 1.9 km from the airport, and the HUALUXE Xiamen Haicang Harbour View, about a 25-minute drive away.

Are there accessible services or children's facilities at the New York City and Xiamen airports?

At John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, wheelchair assistance and guided support are arranged through your airline or the TSA Cares program, with requests ideally made in advance; travelers with hidden disabilities can pick up a free Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard at any terminal's Welcome Center. At Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, Xiamen Airlines provides wheelchair service and assistance for passengers with reduced mobility, with battery-powered wheelchair users asked to check in at the special service counter at least 2 hours before departure, and a paid Meet & Assist escort service is available through Vaba. For the smoothest experience, contact your airline before the flight to coordinate mobility assistance at both airports.
References

What aircraft are typically used on flights from New York City to Xiamen?

No nonstop flights operate between New York City and Xiamen; travelers connect through hubs in Asia or the U.S. Air China's one-stop service via Beijing typically uses a Boeing 747 family aircraft on the long leg, while Cathay Pacific flies Airbus A350-900s and Boeing 777-300ERs via Hong Kong. XiamenAir offers a Boeing 787-9 via Los Angeles, and United and Asiana also connect with Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350-900 respectively, with other carriers like EVA Air using Boeing 777-300ERs.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from New York City to Xiamen?

There is no nonstop service between New York and Xiamen, so all itineraries connect — most commonly through Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific (oneworld), Taipei on China Airlines (SkyTeam) or EVA Air (Star Alliance), Beijing on Air China (Star Alliance), or Seoul on Asiana or United (both Star Alliance). Xiamen Airlines (SkyTeam) also carries the long transpacific leg via Los Angeles, and Alaska Airlines (oneworld) feeds that routing. SkyTeam, Star Alliance, and oneworld all serve the route through their members, with several operators — including Shandong Airlines and Uni Air — belonging to no alliance.

Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
