Beijing Capital International (PEK) serves as the city’s main international gateway and one of China’s largest hub airports, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carrier flights including Air China and many SkyTeam partners. It sits about 25–32 km northeast of central Beijing; travelers can reach downtown in roughly 40–60 minutes byAirport Express train or 45–90 minutes by road depending on traffic, with taxi fares usually higher than public transit and subway fares remaining modest. Strengths include frequent international connections and extensive ground transport; drawbacks can be long security lines and significant walking between terminals.
Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is a newer, large-scale international hub that often hosts a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, positioned south of the city and designed to ease congestion at the older airport. It lies about 45–50 km from central Beijing, with airport shuttle coaches and a high-speed rail link typically taking 40–60 minutes, while taxis or rideshares can take longer in peak periods and cost more. The terminal is modern and roomy, favouring comfort and streamlined transfers, but the greater distance can add transit time and occasional extra expense for ground transport.
Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and European connections and serving full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 10 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) from the city centre, it’s well connected by frequent S-Bahn trains (approx. 10–15 minutes, moderate fares) and several regional buses or taxis (20–30 minutes, higher fares). The airport typically offers a wide range of shops and lounges and can be more convenient for business and international transfers, though prices for food and parking can be higher than at smaller regional fields. For domestic or very budget-conscious travellers, regional airports and coach links can be alternatives depending on schedule and price.
