Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with PKX usually positioned as the new ultra‑modern international hub and PEK operating as a long‑established major gateway. PEK typically hosts a broad mix of full‑service carriers and some low‑cost services, while PKX often attracts long‑haul international flights and several flag carriers. Both airports are roughly 25–46 km from the city center: Capital is about 25–30 km northeast (30–60 minutes by road), Daxing sits about 45–50 km south (45–75 minutes drive). Frequent options include the Airport Express train and intercity rail links, express buses and taxis; expect rail fares to be economical and taxi or ride‑hailing to be midrange depending on traffic. Pros: extensive flight networks, modern facilities and good public‑transport connections. Cons: longer transfer times in heavy traffic and potential for busy security and immigration queues at peak periods.

The airport lies about 30–35 km east of Abu Dhabi city center; taxis typically take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and cost around AED 60–120, while shared shuttles and app-based transfers are slightly cheaper. Public buses run regularly with longer journey times (45–75 minutes) at low fares. Pros: modern facilities, good transit connections and a wide route network. Cons: distance from central hotels and occasional peak-hour congestion.
