Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and a full-service hub that handles both major carriers and a wide range of low-cost airlines, so fares can vary from premium to budget-friendly depending on season and carrier. It sits about 20 km east of central Athens; typical transfers include the suburban rail or Metro (35–45 minutes), express buses (~60 minutes), taxis (35–50 minutes) and shared shuttles, with fares ranging from modest public-transport tickets to higher taxi/shuttle fees. The airport is modern and well-equipped for international connections, but traffic and transfer times to the center can lengthen journeys during peak hours. For travelers prioritizing convenience, it offers frequent public-transit links; those seeking the lowest fares may find cheaper options on secondary carriers.

Beijing is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) is the long-established international hub handling most legacy carriers and many full-service international routes; it sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown and can be reached by express train (~20–30 minutes, moderate fare) or airport buses and taxis (30–60 minutes, fares vary). Beijing Daxing (PKX), a newer, large-scale airport to the south, typically hosts a mix of full-service and growing low-cost/secondary international services and can be 40–50 km from central districts; travel options include dedicated high-speed rail links and coaches (40–50 minutes, variable fares). PEK is often perceived as pricier and busier while PKX can be more modern but farther for some neighborhoods. Pros: solid public-transport links and robust international connectivity. Cons: long transfer times between airports and potential for peak-hour congestion.
