Cheap Flights from Beijing to Taipei — $169

Beijing’s air travel is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the older, larger international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown and typically takes 40–70 minutes by airport express train plus subway or 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with rail fares commonly in the low single digits and taxis varying by meter. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) opened as a modern hub to relieve congestion and attract both international and domestic flights, located roughly 45–50 km south of the city; journeys from Daxing usually take 35–60 minutes by express rail or 50–80 minutes by road, with rail fares modest and rideshares/taxis higher. PEK can be more convenient for many central hotels and transfer connections, while PKX often offers quieter terminals and competitive fares but requires more transit time for some neighborhoods. Both airports support a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so prices can vary by route and season.

Taipei is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Taiwan Taoyuan International (TPE), located about 40–50 km west of downtown New Taipei/Taipei City, is the main international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; journey times to the city center are typically 35–50 minutes by express train or 50–80 minutes by car, with fares for rail around moderate ranges and taxis considerably higher. Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) sits much closer—around 5–6 km from central Taipei—and mainly handles regional, domestic, and several short-haul international routes flown by both legacy and low-cost carriers; tram/metro or taxi rides usually take 10–20 minutes at modest cost. Pros: Taoyuan offers extensive international connections and full-service facilities, while Songshan is highly convenient for downtown access. Cons: Taoyuan can require longer transfers and higher surface-transport costs; Songshan has fewer long-haul options and can be pricier per seat on popular short routes.
