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.
