Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) is the city's primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators; it typically feels large and busy, with premium lounges and extensive transfer options. Located about 25–30 km northeast of downtown, the airport is usually reachable by the Airport Express train in roughly 20–30 minutes or by taxi and rideshares in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic; expect metro/train fares to be modest and taxi fares to be higher. Pros: wide flight choice and strong connectivity for international transfers. Cons: crowds at peak times and longer distances between terminals can make connections feel tight. Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) operates as a newer, major international and transfer hub that often attracts both full-service airlines and growing low-cost routes; it can be a cost-competitive alternative for some long-haul and domestic services. Situated about 45–50 km south of central Beijing, travel typically takes 30–45 minutes by high-speed rail or airport express services and roughly 50–70 minutes by car; fares are generally moderate for rail and higher for taxis. Pros: modern facilities, efficient transfer layout and often less terminal congestion. Cons: greater distance to the city center which can add time and cost for ground transport, especially in heavy traffic.

Cape Town International Airport is the city’s primary international gateway and usually serves a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, including South African Airways, British Airways and budget airlines on domestic and regional routes. Located roughly 20–25 km (about 30–45 minutes by road, depending on traffic) from the city centre, transfers can be made by metered taxi or app-based ride services (fares typically higher than public options), MyCiTi express bus services (cheaper, around 40–60 minutes) and private shuttles. The airport typically feels modern and efficient for international connections, though peak-season traffic can slow road transfers; it’s a convenient choice for most travelers but can be pricier than arriving at smaller regional fields for budget-conscious visitors.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Beijing to Cape Town is $470 (March 2026), while the maximum is $632 (February 2026). On average, a ticket costs $517–$531.
