Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with Nanyuan handling limited domestic traffic. PEK has long been the city’s major international hub, favored by legacy carriers and many full-service foreign airlines, while Daxing has grown into a large, modern gateway attracting a mix of long-haul and domestic flights and some low-cost services. Both airports sit roughly 25–50 km from central Beijing depending on which terminal and route you use; journeys can take 30–90 minutes. Ground options include express trains and airport shuttles (fares typically moderate), metro links with lower fares but longer transfers, plus taxis and app-based rides with variable costs. Pros: wide network and frequent services; Cons: transfers between airports can be lengthy and traffic or security checks may add time.
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) serves as Hungary’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and numerous low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 16–20 km southeast of central Budapest (roughly 30–45 minutes by car in normal traffic). Public transit options include the 100E airport bus to Deák Ferenc tér (approx. 35–45 minutes; ticketed service), regional bus and suburban rail links with slightly longer journeys, plus taxis and ride‑hail services that can be quicker but cost more. Pros: compact terminals and many low-cost routes make it convenient for value-oriented travelers; cons: peak-hour road congestion and occasional long security lines can reduce comfort.
