Cheap Flights from Beijing to San Jose Starting at $385

Beijing is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) has typically been the city’s primary international hub, handling many full-service carriers and long-haul flights; it sits about 25–30 km northeast of the city center and can be reached by airport express train (35–45 minutes) or taxi/ride-hail (40–70 minutes, fares vary by route and time). Beijing Daxing International (PKX) opened as a modern, high-capacity airport that often hosts a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers and can be slightly farther depending on destination, roughly 40–50 km south; rail and shuttle services usually take 35–60 minutes. Fares and transfer times depend on traffic and service chosen; PEK is sometimes perceived as pricier for transfers while PKX may offer newer facilities but longer ground transfer. Pros: Capital is extremely well connected and familiar to travelers; Daxing is modern with streamlined layouts. Cons: Both can be busy and transfers across the city can be time-consuming during peak hours.
