Same aircraft, same route — return pricing is symmetric; flight times can vary about ±10% with wind direction.
Guide prices are one-way estimates incl. positioning; taxes/handling extra. Round-trip and one-way both available. Currency conversion is approximate.
Guide prices reflect the key cost drivers on this sector — distance, fuel costs at both ends, and airport fees at both ends. Every quote is checked against live availability before we confirm it.
Both cities are served by several airports, giving flexibility on slots and routing:

15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Lijiang to Nanjing use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 183 km short after reserves on a 1,890 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Lijiang Sanyi International Airport has 9,843 ft and Nanjing Lukou International Airport 11,811 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
