Beijing is served mainly by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with Tianjin Binhai (TSN) sometimes used for low-cost or regional connections. Capital traditionally acts as the established international hub handling many legacy carriers and long-haul flights, while Daxing has positioned itself as a modern, high-capacity gateway popular with both full-service and budget airlines. Both are 30–50 km from central Beijing; expect 40–60 minutes by airport express train or 50–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Fares for rail or subway transfers are typically modest, whereas airport express and taxis cost more. Pros: extensive route networks and frequent services; cons: long transit times in peak traffic and large terminals that can mean extra walking.
Lanzhou’s main airport, Lanzhou Zhongchuan International (LHW), functions as the region’s primary international and domestic gateway rather than a low-cost hub, handling most long‑haul and connecting services. Airlines typically include Chinese carriers and some regional internationals, with fares often perceived as mid-range compared with larger coastal airports. The airport sits roughly 70–80 km north of downtown Lanzhou; travel to the city center usually takes about 60–90 minutes by shuttle or taxi, with public bus and airport express coach options commonly charging modest fares. Pros: relatively comprehensive facilities and good network links; cons: longer transfer distance and occasional road congestion into town.
