Cheap Flights from Barcelona to Beijing — $325

Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) is Catalonia’s main international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, alongside many low-cost operators. It sits about 12 km southwest of Plaça de Catalunya, with connections by Aerobús or TMB bus taking roughly 25–35 minutes and costing in the range of modest single fares, while the metro and R2 suburban train link the airport to the city in around 25–35 minutes for similar budget-friendly rates. Taxi rides can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and are usually pricier. Pros: wide route choice and frequent services; Cons: busy terminals and occasional queues during peak periods.

Beijing is served mainly by two airports with very different roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) is the older international hub handling most full-service carriers and long-haul flights; it sits about 25–30 km northeast of the city center, typically reachable by airport express train or metro in 30–50 minutes and by taxi in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares can be moderate to high). Beijing Daxing (PKX) opened as a modern, high-capacity international gateway favored by some flag and low-cost carriers; it lies roughly 45–50 km south of downtown and is linked by high-speed rail and express buses taking about 40–70 minutes (shuttle and taxi costs vary). Travelers can expect PEK to be more central and convenient for older connections, while PKX offers newer facilities but longer transfers; amenities and transport options can vary by terminal, so factor in transfer times for tight connections.
