Numerous American airports offer flight connections to Chengdu, primarily through major international hubs that provide either direct services or convenient one-stop routes. Travelers can depart from major gateways such as Los Angeles (LAX), which offers the longest direct flight to Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU), as well as San Francisco (SFO), New York (JFK), and Newark (EWR). Other significant U.S. airports with connecting services include Chicago (ORD), Washington, D.C. (IAD), Houston (IAH), Dallas (DFW), and Boston (BOS). Additionally, many regional airports like Seattle (SEA), Miami (MIA), Denver (DEN), and Atlanta (ATL) facilitate travel to Chengdu via major airline networks such as United Airlines, Air China, Cathay Pacific, and China Southern. While passengers often arrive at the newer Tianfu International Airport (TFU), some flights still service the older Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), located closer to the city center.
