Cheap Flights from Beijing to Nanjing — $76

Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the city’s main international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers like Air China, China Eastern and international airlines, typically offering a wide range of long-haul and domestic connections. Located about 25–30 km northeast of downtown, travel by Airport Express plus subway takes around 40–60 minutes and can be relatively inexpensive; taxis and airport shuttles usually run 40–70 minutes depending on traffic and may cost more. PEK is typically comfortable and well equipped with lounges, shopping and transit links, but can be busy at peak times and security queues may be lengthy. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is a large, modern hub opened to ease pressure on the older airport and is often used by full-service and some low-cost carriers for international and domestic routes. Sitting roughly 45–50 km south of central Beijing, the airport rail link or express coach generally takes about 30–60 minutes depending on service and traffic, with fares varying by mode; taxis take longer and can be pricier. Daxing impresses with its contemporary design and facilities, though the greater distance to the city can add time and cost for transfers compared with inner options.

Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) is the city’s main international gateway and regional hub, handling most long-haul and domestic flights and serving full-service carriers as well as some low-cost operators. It sits about 35–40 km southeast of downtown Nanjing; travel time is typically 40–60 minutes by airport shuttle or taxi, and the intercity express (Daxing or Metro Line S1) can take roughly 25–35 minutes with moderate fares. Taxis and app-based rides are widely available but can be pricier than buses; public buses and airport express trains are budget-friendly options. Pros: modern facilities and a wide route network. Cons: distance to the center can mean longer transfer times and occasional congestion at peak hours.
