Beijing is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) has traditionally been the city’s international hub, handling many full-service carriers and long-haul routes; it’s located about 32 km northeast of downtown and typically connects to the city by Airport Express train (~20–30 minutes, moderate fares) plus taxis and airport buses (40–60 minutes depending on traffic). Beijing Daxing International (PKX) opened as a large, modern hub that can host a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines and often sees competitive fares; it lies roughly 50 km south of the center and is reachable by express rail (~20–35 minutes) and road links (30–60 minutes, fares varying). Pros: PEK is highly established with plentiful international connections and transit options; PKX offers modern facilities and can be less congested. Cons: both airports can be far from central neighborhoods and travel times depend on Beijing traffic; transfer between the two can take an hour or more.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) serves as Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers as well as some low-cost airlines. Located about 15 km southeast of the city center, it’s typically reached by taxi in roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally higher than public transit; airport express buses and shared shuttles can take 30–50 minutes for a lower cost. Domestic and international check-in and transfer facilities are usually modern, though peak times can be busy. Pros: convenient connectivity and a broad choice of airlines; cons: occasional congestion and longer lines during holidays. Flight prices can vary widely by carrier and season.
