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
