Beijing is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) is the long-standing international hub handling most legacy carriers and many full-service long-haul flights, while Beijing Daxing (PKX) opened as a major, modern hub that increasingly attracts both international and domestic services, often including low-cost and newer carrier operations. Both airports sit some distance from central Beijing — Capital about 25 km northeast and Daxing roughly 50 km south — with travel times typically 30–60 minutes from Capital and 45–90 minutes from Daxing depending on traffic. Public transport options include express trains and metro links (fare ranges usually low to moderate), airport shuttles and taxis (fares vary; taxis can be more costly). Capital can be more convenient for northern districts, while Daxing’s facilities are newer; conversely, Daxing’s greater distance from many central areas can mean longer ground transfers.

Sanya Phoenix International (SYX) is Hainan’s main gateway and typically functions as the island’s international and domestic hub, handling both full-service carriers and many budget airlines on holiday routes. It sits roughly 15–20 km northwest of downtown Sanya, with taxi rides to central beaches usually taking about 25–40 minutes and costing in the local mid-range; airport shuttle buses and hotel transfers can be cheaper but slower, while some resorts offer complimentary pickups. Pros: straightforward layout, regular connections to major Chinese cities and seasonal international flights. Cons: it can be busy during peak holiday periods and transfer options may add time compared with city-center airports.

In different months, ticket prices from Beijing to Sanya vary: minimum — $117 (September 2026), maximum — $510 (August 2027). Typically, the flight costs $166–$197.
