Beijing is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) is the long-established international hub handling most full-service carriers and a wide range of long-haul flights; it sits northeast of the city, typically 25–30 km from the centre and reachable by express train (30–40 min) or metro and taxi (40–60 min), with fares that can range widely depending on mode. Beijing Daxing (PKX) is a newer, large international airport positioned south of the city that often hosts both legacy and growing low-cost routes, usually perceived as more budget-friendly for some carriers but farther out (40–50 km). Ground options include high-speed rail link, intercity coaches, and taxis — journey times and costs vary by traffic and service chosen. Pros: extensive connectivity and modern facilities; cons: longer transfers and potential for busy security and check-in lines.
King Khalid International Airport (RUH) is Riyadh’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers and regional airlines alongside a growing number of low-cost operators. Located roughly 30–35 km north of the city center, it can be about a 30–50 minute drive depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing are common, with fares usually ranging from moderate to higher-end for airport trips, while shuttle services and private transfers offer fixed-rate alternatives. The airport is a modern, spacious hub with multiple terminals and decent passenger facilities, making it comfortable for transfers, though distance from downtown and occasional peak-hour congestion can add travel time and cost. Domestic flights are also well covered here, making RUH a convenient base for both international and internal travel.
Fly nonstop from Beijing to Riyadh for the quickest, most convenient way to connect China and Saudi Arabia — less time in transit and more comfort on board. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a direct service saves hours and reduces hassle, making it ideal for business trips or a relaxed start to your journey. Book early to lock in the best direct fares and enjoy a smoother travel experience.
