However, it is absolutely important for you to reach a deal with the coach or taxi driver before departure.

Everyday, there will be about 4 flights departing from Kunming Changshui International Airport(昆明长水国际机场)to Dali Airport(大理机场), and the schedule is listed as follows:

MU2362-MU5726 22:40 15 hr 40 mins Economy Class-CNY 826
