Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport (TNA) serves as the main international and domestic gateway for Jinan, typically handling full-service carriers alongside growing low-cost and regional connections. Located about 33 km northeast of the city center, travel to downtown can be by airport express bus (roughly 40–60 minutes, fares usually in the low single-digit USD equivalent) or taxi (around 40–60 minutes, higher cost). Shuttle buses and app-based ride services are commonly available; rail links may require transfers. The airport is generally viewed as convenient for onward connections and offers standard amenities, but the distance from the core urban area can make transfers feel longer and fares more variable during peak times.

Beijing Capital International (PEK) serves as the city’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers like Air China and several global airlines, typically handling the bulk of long-haul and premium traffic. Located about 25–30 km northeast of central Beijing (Chaoyang/Tiananmen areas), it’s usually reachable by express train (Airport Express + subway transfers) in roughly 35–50 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic; expect fares to range from moderate to higher for taxis and lower for public transit. Pros: comprehensive amenities, many lounge and transfer options, extensive international connections. Cons: busy terminals and potentially long security and transfer times during peak periods. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is the newer, large-scale international hub designed to relieve capacity pressure and attract full-service and some low-cost airlines, often used for new long-haul routes and expansion. Situated about 45–55 km south of central Beijing, travel typically takes 35–50 minutes by the Daxing Airport Express or around 50–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; public transit fares are generally more economical while taxi costs can be higher because of distance. Pros: modern facilities, streamlined transfer flows and fewer crowds in many periods. Cons: longer ground travel times for some city areas and occasional limited direct transit options compared with older airports. Beijing Nanyuan (now largely closed to civilian traffic) had been a smaller, more domestic-focused field serving regional flights and general aviation; it historically catered to budget-conscious travelers on short-haul routes and some private flights. Located closer to the southern city districts, it was typically handy for nearby neighborhoods with short taxi rides but offered fewer amenities and connections than major hubs. Pros: convenient proximity for local trips and quicker curb-to-gate times when in operation. Cons: limited carrier choice, few services and constrained international connectivity compared with the larger airports.

The cost of a one-way flight from Jinan to Beijing ranges from $233 (March 2026) to $431 (December 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $315–$711.
