Beijing’s air travel is split between two main airports with different roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) has traditionally been the primary international hub, serving many full-service carriers and intercontinental routes; it sits northeast of the city center, roughly 25–30 km away with subway and airport express options taking about 40–60 minutes and taxis or ride-shares generally 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Beijing Daxing (PKX) is a newer, large modern hub that also handles international and domestic flights and is often used by both legacy and low-cost carriers; it lies about 45–50 km south of downtown with rail and coach links taking around 50–80 minutes. Fares and transfer times can vary; airport trains and express coaches are usually the most predictable choices. Capital can feel busier and more central for transfers, while Daxing tends to be more spacious but farther out, which can affect convenience for tight connections.

Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) is the city’s main international gateway and regional hub, serving a mix of full-service carriers and growing low-cost airlines on domestic and East Asian routes. Fares can be competitive on domestic sectors but international connections may be pricier outside peak seasons. The airport sits about 27–35 km east of downtown Hangzhou; taxis typically take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often in a moderate range, while the airport metro line can take roughly 35–45 minutes for a lower flat fee. Shuttle buses and app-based ride services are also common. Pros: relatively modern facilities and frequent connections; cons: travel time to the centre can vary with congestion, and transfers between terminals may add extra walk or wait time.

In different months, ticket prices from Beijing to Hangzhou vary: minimum — $74 (August 2026), maximum — $300 (July 2027). Typically, the flight costs $170–$187.
