Cheap Flights from Christchurch to Beijing — $353

Beijing is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) traditionally functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling many full-service carriers and long-haul flights; it lies northeast of the city center and can take 30–60 minutes by taxi or 20–40 minutes via airport express train, with fares typically ranging from moderate to higher levels. Beijing Daxing International (PKX), opened more recently, often handles a mix of international and domestic services and can be perceived as a more modern but slightly farther option, about 40–80 minutes from central Beijing; transport options include high-speed rail links, airport shuttles and taxis with fares varying by route. PEK is generally more convenient for business travel to Chaoyang, while PKX may offer newer facilities and fewer peak-time crowds; both airports can be busy, so allow extra time for security and transfers.

Christchurch Airport (CHC) serves as New Zealand’s South Island gateway and typically functions as a medium-sized international hub with a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers operating regional and trans-Tasman flights. The airport sits about 12 km northwest of the city center; road transfers by taxi or rideshare usually take 15–25 minutes while public buses can take 30–45 minutes, with fares generally modest for local transit. Car rental and shuttle services are widely available for travelers seeking flexibility. Pros include a compact terminal and straightforward connections for onward travel; cons can be limited late-night services and occasional peak-period queues, so planning ahead is advisable.
