- Get to Tibet by Air Plane
For typical tourists, the best way to get there is to take a plane. There are flights to Gongkar airport, 95km (59mi) from Lhasa, from Beijing, Chengdu( every date around 12 flights), Shanghai, Xian, Guangzhou( all daily depature), Chongqing, Xining, Chamdo, Zhongdian, and Kathmandu.
Depature from Chengdu is the most convenient. If you want to go there from Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, you have to make a stop in Chengdu. Chengdu is the best place to see Giant Panda. So an overnight stay in Chengdu is a good idea.
The flights going to Lhasa from Chengdu are all very early, and the planes are all Airbus A340, very comfortable ones. The flight itself is a great experience. When you look out of the window about 20 minutes before landing, you will see a heart-breaking beautiful view of the snow capped mountains!

But take the flight directly from Beijing, Shanghai, Xian is the most popular way.
