Beijing is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK), the older hub near the northeast of the city, functions as China’s primary international gateway and a major transfer point for full-service carriers such as Air China and many global alliances; fares here can be mid-to-premium depending on season. Beijing Daxing International (PKX), a newer south-city hub, often handles both full-service and growing low-cost operations and can be competitive on price. Both airports sit roughly 30–50 km from central Beijing: Capital is about 30–35 km northeast and Daxing about 45–50 km south. Transit options include airport express trains (30–40 minutes for Capital, 40–50 for Daxing) and long-distance high-frequency airport buses or taxis (40–90 minutes depending on traffic), with fares ranging from modest bus tickets to higher taxi/ride-hail costs. Pros: good rail links and plentiful airline choices; cons: travel times can be lengthy in peak traffic and transfers between the two airports may require extra time and planning.

Fly nonstop from Beijing to Dubai for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge China and the UAE — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy Dubai’s skyline and attractions. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and delivers a calmer, more comfortable travel experience worth the convenience.

Dubai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s major international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers such as Emirates and many global airlines; it’s generally viewed as mid-to-premium in terms of facilities and can be busier and pricier for parking and lounge access. DXB sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai — typically a 15–30 minute drive depending on traffic, with metro links (about 25–40 minutes, fares vary) and taxis readily available. Dubai World Central / Al Maktoum (DWC) is a newer, budget- and cargo-oriented airport further out (35–50 km, roughly 40–60 minutes by car). DWC often hosts low-cost and charter operators and can offer cheaper fares but less frequent public transport, typically requiring shuttle buses or taxis with longer transfer times. Pros: DXB is highly connected and convenient for central Dubai; DWC can be cheaper and less congested. Cons: DXB can be crowded at peak times; DWC’s greater distance may add transfer time and cost.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Beijing to Dubai is $169 (December 2025), while the maximum is $259 (November 2026). On average, a ticket costs $225–$467.
