Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long‑haul and flag‑carrier traffic and serving a wide range of full‑service airlines alongside some international low‑cost carriers. Located about 25–30 km northeast of central Beijing, it’s typically reached by the Airport Express train (about 20–30 minutes to Dongzhimen with fares usually under a modest metro surcharge) or by taxi and ride‑hail services that can take 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: extensive route network, many on‑site amenities and easy transfer options; cons: can be busy and crowded, especially at peak times, and land travel times vary with congestion. Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) functions as a newer, large-scale international and domestic gateway that often caters to both full‑service and budget carriers expanding into the capital. Sited roughly 45–50 km south of central Beijing, typical ground options include a high‑speed rail link and express buses (travel times commonly 30–50 minutes by rail and 60–90 minutes by road, fares varying by service type) or taxis that are generally slower and costlier for downtown trips. Pros: modern terminals with streamlined transfer facilities and generally lower congestion; cons: greater distance to the city center and occasionally longer, less predictable surface travel times.

Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA) serves as the main international and domestic gateway to Tibet, typically handling a mix of domestic carriers and some seasonal international services. Flights can be pricier than low-cost alternatives in China, reflecting the remote location and lower frequency; round-trips often feel premium compared with mainland routes. The airport lies about 60 km (roughly 1–1.5 hours by road) south of Lhasa city center, accessible by airport shuttle buses, taxis and hired cars—shuttle fares are usually modest while taxis cost more for the longer transfer. Pros: high-altitude acclimatisation facilities and scenic approach; cons: fewer flight options, weather-related delays and longer surface travel times to town.
