Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the city’s main international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers such as Air China and several global airlines, typically handling most long-haul and premium traffic. It’s located about 25–30 km northeast of central Beijing, with travel times ranging from roughly 30–60 minutes by express airport train or 40–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; public transit fares are generally modest while taxis can be mid-range. The airport offers wide amenities and frequent connections but can feel busy during peak hours. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) opened as a modern, capacity-focused hub that often hosts both legacy and budget carriers and can be perceived as a cost-effective alternative for some itineraries. Situated roughly 50–60 km south of downtown, Daxing is typically 40–60 minutes by dedicated express services and 60–90 minutes by car; transfer fares are moderate to higher for direct express links. Daxing is notable for its newer facilities and spacious design, although its greater distance can make transfers and ground transport less convenient for time-sensitive trips.

The airport lies about 25–30 km north of downtown Chongqing; express rail, airport shuttle buses and taxis connect travelers in roughly 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, with shuttle fares typically low and taxi rides costing more.
