San Francisco International Airport (SFO) serves as the region’s main international and domestic hub, handling a wide mix of legacy carriers and major global airlines alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 13 miles (21 km) south of downtown San Francisco, travel times to the city center typically range from 20–40 minutes by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) or 20–45 minutes by taxi/rideshare depending on traffic; fares on BART are usually modest while taxi or rideshare can be noticeably higher. SFO offers extensive lounges and amenities, making it comfortable for transfers, though peak congestion and longer security lines can be drawbacks. Overall it’s convenient for international connections but can be pricier and busier than nearby secondary airports.
Beijing is served mainly by Beijing Capital International (PEK), a large international hub handling most long-haul and flag-carrier traffic, and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), built to relieve congestion and attract a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers. Capital sits northeast of the city center, typically 25–35 km away, while Daxing is roughly 45–55 km to the south; journey times can range from about 30–60 minutes by express train or 45–90 minutes by road depending on traffic. Public transport options include airport express trains, intercity rail links, metro extensions and frequent airport buses with fares usually low to moderate, plus taxis and ride-hailing at higher cost. PEK can be more convenient for northern/central arrivals, while PKX often offers newer facilities but longer transfers; both can be busy during peak travel periods, so allow extra time for security and immigration.
