Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) serves as the primary commercial gateway for Silicon Valley, typically positioned as a mid-sized international hub with a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines. You’ll often find nonstop domestic flights across the U.S. and frequent regional routes to Mexico and the West Coast, with some transcontinental and seasonal international services. The airport sits about 3–4 miles (roughly 10–15 minutes) from downtown San Jose; public transit options include VTA light rail or bus connections (20–35 minutes, low fares) and the EMT/Ride-sharing services or taxis (15–25 minutes, fares vary). Pros: compact terminals and shorter security lines can make connections easier; cons: fewer long-haul international options than nearby SFO and OAK, and peak-hour traffic can increase transfer times.
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.
