Cheap Flights from Chelyabinsk to Beijing — $228

Chelyabinsk Airport (CEK), also known as Balandino, is the region’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of domestic and a few international flights, with carriers usually including Russian flag and low-cost operators. It’s located about 20 km north of Chelyabinsk city centre; travel by express bus or regular city bus can take around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, while taxis are commonly used and can be faster. Fares for public buses are generally very low; taxi rides are moderately priced relative to local standards. Pros: straightforward layout, basic passenger services and short transfer times into the city. Cons: limited international connectivity and fewer amenities compared with larger Russian hubs.

While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop option saves hours and delivers a smoother, more comfortable travel experience, making it worth considering when planning your trip.

Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX). Capital has long been the international hub for China’s flag carrier and many full-service foreign airlines, while Daxing was built to relieve congestion and attract a mix of legacy and budget carriers; both can be used for domestic and international connections. The airports lie about 25–30 km (PEK) and 45–50 km (PKX) from central Beijing. Ground options include the Airport Express train and metro connections (roughly 20–30 minutes from downtown to PEK’s terminal via express services, longer for PKX), airport shuttle buses, taxis and ride-hailing — fares and travel times vary widely by route and traffic. PEK is typically convenient for established international schedules and a broad range of services; Daxing can be more modern and spacious but may require extra transfer time to the city. Both offer extensive amenities, but travelers should factor in transfer times and peak-hour congestion when choosing flights.

In different months, ticket prices from Chelyabinsk to Beijing vary: minimum — $228 (January 2026), maximum — $334 (June 2026). Typically, the flight costs $268–$543.
