Airport ↔ rail connections
Changchun Longjia International Airport长春龙嘉国际机场
Changchun Longjia (CGQ) has no metro, but it has something faster: an 880-metre enclosed underground walkway leads straight to Longjia station (UJL) — 15 minutes and ¥10 to Changchun station, with through trains on to Jilin (48 min) and Yanji West (2h07). Around 53 intercity trains call here each day. Tickets can be booked on traintickets.travel.
Getting from the plane onto the intercity line
No metro reaches Changchun’s airport yet; Line 9 is due at the end of 2027. The fastest link today is the airport’s own intercity station, about ten minutes away underground.

From Terminal 2 arrivals follow the “Longjia station / high-speed rail” signs down. The enclosed walkway has moving walks and escalators and takes about ten minutes — you never step outside.
-
Fifteen minutes to Changchun station15 min
Changchun station costs ¥10 and Changchun West ¥17, with through trains east to Yanji West (2h07, ¥107.5). Fares float, so you often pay less than the published figure.

Coming back the other way
Trains from the Hunchun direction arrive on B2: go up to the B1 walkway level, then follow the signs up to the L3 departures hall.
