Beijing is served mainly by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with Capital historically the larger international gateway and Daxing positioned as a modern hub handling growing international and domestic traffic. Major full-service carriers such as Air China and China Eastern operate extensive networks at both, while low-cost and regional airlines serve many domestic routes; fares can be competitive on budget carriers but vary by season. Both airports sit roughly 25–50 km from central Beijing—Capital to the northeast and Daxing to the south—with express train, airport shuttle, metro links and taxis taking about 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; transfers cost from modest metro fares to higher taxi or express train fares. Capital can feel busier and more familiar for international transfers, whereas Daxing offers newer facilities and streamlined design but may require longer ground connections for some parts of the city.

Yantai Penglai International Airport (YNT) serves as the main gateway to Yantai and the surrounding Shandong coast, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a major global connector. It typically handles a mix of domestic flights and seasonal international services, with carriers including Chinese full-service and low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 43–50 km north of Yantai city center; travel times are usually 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Ground options include airport shuttle buses (roughly 45–70 CNY), taxis (metered fares varying with distance) and private transfers. Pros: relatively modern facilities and straightforward domestic connections; cons: longer transfer distance to downtown and fewer direct long-haul routes compared with larger Chinese hubs.
