Beijing is served mainly by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX). Capital traditionally functions as the established international hub with many full-service carriers and flag-carrier China Air operations, while Daxing, opened recently, often handles a mix of international and domestic flights and can be favored by low-cost or secondary services on some routes. Both airports are roughly 30–50 km from central Beijing; travel times vary from about 40–60 minutes by express rail or 60–90 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public transit options include airport express trains, intercity rail, metro links, long-distance buses, taxis and ride-hailing; fares can range from modest metro fares up to higher taxi or airport transfer costs. Pros: extensive flight choices and modern facilities. Cons: transfers between the two airports can be time-consuming and peak-hour traffic may delay surface travel.
