Qionghai Bo'ao Airport (ZJQH (BAR)) generally receives positive, albeit mixed, traveler sentiment, often praised for its compact size and efficiency as a regional domestic airport. While it boasts a 3-Star Regional Airport rating for its facilities and cleanliness, some areas like food, retail, and Wi-Fi connectivity could see improvement.

What Travelers Love
  • Overall Convenience and Compactness: The airport is described as a "compact and quite charming small, primarily domestic airport," with convenience being well-rated.
  • Efficient Check-in and Baggage Claim: Travelers report high satisfaction with check-in procedures and baggage claim, both rated at 90%.
  • Security Check Efficiency: Security checks are rated highly at 100% for efficiency, contributing to a smooth experience.
  • Cleanliness and Comfort: The airport is certified as a 3-Star Regional Airport, recognized for its comfort and cleanliness standards.
  • Free Wi-Fi: Travelers can access free Wi-Fi throughout the terminal building.
Common Complaints
  • Limited Shopping and Dining Options: The airport does not offer a wide variety of shopping or food and beverage choices, with food and retail services rated at 65%. Only small cafés and snack bars are generally available.
  • Subpar Wi-Fi Performance: Wi-Fi quality is a notable concern, with a low satisfaction rating of 40%.
  • "Getting to the Airport" Experience: The convenience of getting to the airport is rated lower at 65%, suggesting potential challenges or less-than-ideal transportation connections for some travelers.
  • Misleading International Status: Despite being renamed "Qionghai Bo'ao International Airport" in April 2024, as of 2025, the airport exclusively handles domestic flights and does not serve international routes, which could be a point of confusion for international travelers.
  • Security Wait Times During Peak Hours: While security is generally efficient, current wait times can reach 30 minutes during peak periods (5-8 AM, 11 AM-1 PM, and 4-7 PM).

Qionghai Bo'ao Airport serves effectively as a domestic gateway, particularly noted for its well-managed basic operations and a generally pleasant, albeit limited, terminal environment. Travelers should be aware of the domestic-only flight status despite its international designation and plan for potentially longer security waits during busy times.
