Beijing is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) has long been the primary international gateway and full-service hub for legacy carriers like Air China and many global airlines, usually handling most long-haul and premium traffic; Beijing Daxing International (PKX) opened to relieve capacity and can be more modern and busy with both full-service and low-cost operators. Both are roughly 30–50 km from downtown depending on terminal, with Capital typically a 30–60 minute drive in light traffic and Daxing about 40–70 minutes. Public options include airport express trains (30–45 minutes to central nodes), intercity rail, and long-distance buses; fares vary by service but can range from budget-friendly metro/rail tickets to higher taxi or ride-hailing fares. Pros: broad route networks and frequent services; cons: travel times can be long in peak traffic and transfers between airports may be inconvenient.

Chicago is served by two main airports with distinct roles. O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is the large international and domestic hub typically used by legacy carriers and global connections; it sits about 17 miles northwest of downtown and can take roughly 30–60 minutes to reach by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic, with fares often ranging from moderate to higher. Public transit via the Blue Line usually takes about 45–60 minutes for a lower-cost option. Pros: extensive flight options and amenities; cons: can be busy and require longer transfers. Midway Airport (MDW) functions more as a domestic and low-cost carrier-focused airport located about 10 miles southwest of the Loop. Travel times to downtown are commonly 20–40 minutes by taxi or rideshare at generally lower fares than O'Hare, while the Orange Line offers a budget-friendly 25–35 minute rail link. Pros: shorter lines and closer proximity to the city center for many neighborhoods; cons: fewer international routes and potentially limited late-night options.
