Cheap Flights from Beijing to Chelyabinsk — $273

Chelyabinsk Airport (Balandino, CEK) serves as the region’s main international gateway but typically operates a mix of domestic and limited international flights rather than a major global hub. Carriers are usually Russian flag and regional airlines, with occasional low-cost and charter services; fares can be perceived as mid-range for domestic travel. The airport lies about 20–25 km southwest of Chelyabinsk city centre, with road transfer times commonly around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic. Ground options include taxis, ride-hailing and scheduled buses; expect bus fares to be modest and taxi fares to vary. Pros: straightforward layout and regional connectivity. Cons: fewer long-haul options and services compared with larger metropolitan hubs.

Beijing is served mainly by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX). Capital has long been the principal international hub for legacy carriers such as Air China and many full-service partners, while Daxing, newer and architecturally distinctive, often handles a mix of international and domestic services and can be favored by some budget and long‑haul operators. Both airports sit well outside the core: Capital is roughly 25 km northeast of Tiananmen (about 30–60 minutes by expressway), Daxing about 45 km to the south (35–75 minutes depending on traffic). Options include high‑speed airport express trains and metro lines (fares typically low single digits CNY), intercity rail links, taxis (fares commonly tens to low hundreds CNY), and airport buses. Pros: strong connectivity and frequent flights; Cons: travel times can be long and transfers between the two airports may require extra planning.
