Beijing is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) has long been the international hub, handling many full-service carriers and intercontinental flights; it sits northeast of the city center, roughly 25–30 km away, and is usually reachable by Airport Express metro in about 40–50 minutes or by taxi in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares and times can vary). Beijing Daxing (PKX), opened more recently, often handles a mix of domestic and growing international services and can be slightly cheaper on low-cost or newer routes; it lies farther south, about 50–60 km from downtown, typically a 60–90 minute drive or an express train transfer. Both airports offer airport shuttles and long-distance bus links; pick PEK for legacy carrier connections and convenience to northern districts, or PKX for newer facilities and potentially lower fares, though transfers and longer ground times can be a drawback.

O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) is Johannesburg’s primary international gateway and a major regional hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 22 km east of the city centre, it’s usually reached in 20–40 minutes by Gautrain (rapid rail) or 30–60 minutes by taxi/car depending on traffic; fares for rail are generally modest while taxi fares can vary widely. The airport offers extensive facilities, lounges and frequent international connections, making it convenient for transfers, though peak-hour congestion and busy terminals can add time to journeys. Lanseria International Airport (HLA) functions as a smaller, often budget-oriented alternative for domestic and some regional flights, commonly serving low-cost airlines and private charters. It sits roughly 35 km northwest of central Johannesburg, with drive times usually around 30–50 minutes; airport shuttles and taxis are available but public transport options are more limited than at the main airport. Lanseria can be quieter and quicker to navigate, appealing for point-to-point travel, but it has fewer scheduled long-haul services and less extensive passenger amenities compared with the main international hub.
