Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and legacy-carrier services from China and abroad. It’s a full‑service airport popular with carriers such as Air China and many global airlines, and fares can be mid-to-high relative to regional alternatives. Located about 25–30 km northeast of central Beijing, typical transit options include the Airport Express train (around 20–30 minutes to Dongzhimen with moderate fares), frequent airport buses (35–60 minutes depending on traffic), and taxis or ride-hailing (30–60 minutes depending on congestion; fares vary). Pros: extensive international connections and full amenities; cons: can be busy and transfer times may be long.
Tokyo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Tokyo Haneda (HND) functions as the primary domestic and increasingly international hub, favored by full-service carriers and many business travelers; it’s closer to central Tokyo (roughly 15–30 minutes by train or 20–40 minutes by taxi, fares generally higher for road trips). Access is typically via the Keikyu or Tokyo Monorail to major stations, with journey costs usually modest. Narita (NRT) is traditionally the long-haul gateway used by many international and low-cost airlines; it sits further out (about 60–90 minutes by express train or 60–120 minutes by car) and can feel more budget-oriented on some routes. Narita is linked by the Narita Express, airport limousine buses and several cheaper highway buses, with travel times and fares varying by service. Haneda’s proximity offers faster city access and convenience for short stays or business trips, while Narita often provides more flight choice and sometimes lower fares on international long-haul services—though it can add ground-transfer time and potential extra cost.
