Zhangye Ganzhou Airport with children

Travelling with children is easier when seats and space are arranged before you land.

Child seats

We could not confirm an official rule on child seats in Chinese taxis, and a taxi at the airport may not carry one. Check the current requirements before you travel. If your child needs a seat, bring your own travel seat or request one when you book a transfer, giving the child's age and weight. A seat is only provided if it is confirmed in your booking.

Vehicle size

A family with several large suitcases and a stroller may not fit in a standard taxi. For a larger group or more luggage, book a larger vehicle in advance and note the stroller and bags at booking.

What to expect on arrival

YZY is a small regional airport. An encyclopedia entry citing the airport operator gives a terminal area of 4,189 square metres with two boarding gates as of 2020. We cannot say how long you will wait for bags. Our route data places the city centre about 25.5 km and roughly 27 minutes away (approximate), which is a manageable ride for most children, but one that feels long when a child is tired.

Taxi, bus and ride-hailing

We could not verify a taxi stand, a current airport bus or ride-hailing pickup rules at YZY, so we cannot tell you what is waiting. With children and luggage, an unverified option is the harder one to rely on. If you decide to use a taxi, agree the fare method before you get in and make sure the driver has your destination written in Chinese characters.

On the ride

Keep one adult sitting next to the youngest child and keep snacks and water within reach rather than in the boot. If the vehicle has no suitable seat, tell the driver where you are going and ask them to drive at a moderate pace. Use the restraint your confirmation provides, or your own seat.

Tips for families

• Request a child seat when booking, stating age and weight
• Keep water, snacks and a change of clothes in your cabin bag
• Save your accommodation name, address and phone number in Chinese characters on your phone
• Decide who stays with the bags while another adult finds the vehicle
• Save the transfer contact number from your confirmation before you fly
• Check the weather forecast for your date and keep warm layers in your cabin bag

What we could not confirm

We have no published figure for child seat availability, vehicle sizes or local options at YZY. Ask when you book, and do not assume a seat will be supplied unless your confirmation says so.
