Beijing is served by two main airports with distinct roles: Beijing Capital (PEK) operates as the long-established international hub handling most full-service carriers and many intercontinental connections, while Beijing Daxing (PKX) is a newer, large-scale airport that shares international and domestic traffic and can be a cost-effective alternative for some airlines. Capital sits about 25–30 km northeast of the city center, Daxing around 45 km to the south; journeys to downtown usually take 30–60 minutes by express train or 40–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Typical transport options include high-speed airport express trains (fares usually modest), city trains and frequent airport bus lines, plus ride-hailing and taxis (fares vary with distance and time of day). PEK can be more convenient for travelers headed to northern/tourist districts, while PKX often has newer facilities and may involve longer surface transfers; both offer a mix of lounges and budget-oriented services.
Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as the city’s main gateway and functions as an international hub for Uzbekistan, handling most long‑haul and regional flights. It typically hosts national carrier Uzbekistan Airways alongside a mix of regional and low‑cost operators, so fares can range from budget‑friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. The airport is about 7–8 km northeast of the historic centre; taxi rides usually take 15–25 minutes and can be moderately priced, while shared shuttles or hotel transfers may cost less per person. Pros: convenient location and direct connections to major Uzbek cities. Cons: facilities can be basic compared with large Western hubs and peak times may see queues.
