Xining Caojiabao Airport
The major advantage of traveling to Lhasa from Xining is the elevation of the city. At 2,275 meters above sea level, spending a day or so sightseeing in Xining will help to acclimatize yourself.  For the trip up and up to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, most of which is at an elevation of over 4,000 meters. This is an advantage because you will need to spend time acclimatizing before being able to travel around Tibet. Otherwise, there will be a serious danger of altitude sickness. If this is not done at Xining, then you will need to spend the first couple of days in Lhasa getting used to the immense elevation of the roof of the world. Therefore, you can save yourself some time, and visit some of the famous attractions of Qinghai Province while you acclimatize.
