Beijing is served by two main airports with different roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) has traditionally been the principal international hub, handling many full-service carriers and most long-haul flights; it sits about 25–30 km northeast of downtown and can take 45–75 minutes by airport express train or taxi, with fares typically higher than local transit. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) opened to ease capacity pressure and often carries a mix of full-service and budget airlines; it lies roughly 45–50 km south of the city center and is reachable in about 35–60 minutes via high-speed rail link, airport coach, or taxi. Travellers usually find PEK more central for connecting international services while PKX can be a newer, less crowded alternative; expect longer ground transfers from the city to Daxing but modern facilities and generally good public transport links at both airports.

Xi’an is served primarily by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s major international and domestic hub that handles most long-haul and connecting flights; a few low-cost carriers also operate here. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the city center, journeys typically take 40–60 minutes by airport express bus, 45–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or about 35–45 minutes via the intercity rail link; fares generally range from modest bus prices to medium taxi costs. The airport offers broad route options and decent passenger facilities, though travel time to downtown can be relatively long; budget travelers may prefer planning for transfers and ground-transport costs.

In different months, ticket prices from Beijing to Xian vary: minimum — $94 (May 2026), maximum — $304 (August 2026). Typically, the flight costs $189–$220.
