Beijing is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) is the long-established international hub north-east of the city, typically hosting full-service carriers and many intercontinental connections; it’s about 25–30 km from downtown and reachable by express train (around 20–30 minutes to the city’s core on the Airport Express plus metro transfers), taxis (40–60 minutes depending on traffic) and airport shuttles. Beijing Daxing (PKX) is a newer mega-hub to the south and can be used for both international and domestic services, often favored by some low-cost and long-haul operators; it sits roughly 45–50 km from central Beijing with fast train and coach links (travel times commonly 30–60 minutes). Fares vary by mode—expect higher taxi costs for Daxing—while both airports offer ample amenities; PEK can be more convenient for northern districts, whereas Daxing may feel more modern but farther from the city center.

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is Nairobi’s main international gateway and typically functions as East Africa’s busiest hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers including national flag and full-service airlines. It sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with travel times by taxi or ride-hail usually around 25–45 minutes depending on traffic; airport shuttles and hotel transfer services are also common. Fares can vary widely but expect local taxi or ride-hail rates higher than shared buses; an airport shuttle or metered taxi may be the most convenient choice. Pros: extensive route network and full passenger facilities; Cons: peak-hour congestion and occasionally lengthy immigration queues. Wilson Airport (WIL) is Nairobi’s domestic and regional light-aircraft airport, primarily serving low-cost carriers, charter flights and short-haul regional operators to safari lodges and airstrips. Located roughly 6–8 km southwest of the central business district, travel times by taxi or ride-hail are typically 15–30 minutes, with modest fares compared with transfers to the larger international airport. Ground transport options include metered taxis and shuttle services; public buses are limited. Pros: quick check-ins and proximity to the city; Cons: fewer amenities, limited late-night services, and not suitable for most long-haul connections.

In different months, ticket prices from Beijing to Nairobi vary: minimum — $488 (September 2026), maximum — $641 (October 2026). Typically, the flight costs $565–$641.
