Station-to-station plan

Depart

Luoyang Longmen

Allow local travel and security or boarding buffer from your Luoyang base.

Arrive

Chongqing North or West

Do not treat the timetable duration as arrival at your Chongqing hotel.

Train versus flight

A train takes roughly 5.5 hours before local transfers. A direct flight is roughly 1.5 hours in the air, but airport transfers and check-in bring the planning total closer to 7 hours.

Planning range only; compare direct rail with flight timings. Confirm live schedules and fares before booking.
