Beijing is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the older, larger international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, while Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is a newer, high-capacity airport that also hosts a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines and can be positioned as a modern alternative for international and domestic connections. Both airports lie roughly 30–50 km from downtown, with travel times typically 40–70 minutes by airport express train or 45–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; public transit fares are generally low, while taxis and ride-hailing can cost more. Pros: frequent services and good high-speed rail and metro links; cons: transfers can be time-consuming, peak-hour congestion, and distance to central Beijing can add extra transfer time.

Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG) is the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, typically handling the majority of long-haul and domestic flights. It sits about 24 km northeast of downtown Kunming; travel time by taxi is usually 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly falling in a moderate range, while the airport metro line and airport shuttle buses offer budget-friendly transfers in roughly 40–60 minutes. Pros: modern facilities, frequent services, and good international connectivity. Cons: the distance to the center can make transfers longer and peak-hour road congestion possible.
