Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX). Capital (PEK) has long been the main international and domestic gateway, hosting legacy carriers like Air China alongside many full-service and some low-cost airlines; it sits about 32 km northeast of the city center and is typically reached in 30–60 minutes by the Airport Express, expressway taxis, or airport shuttle buses, with fares typically ranging from modest metro fares to mid-range taxi costs. Daxing (PKX) opened as a newer hub to relieve capacity pressure and tends to handle a mix of international and growing domestic services, often used by both network and budget carriers; it lies about 46 km south of central Beijing and can take 40–70 minutes by intercity train, airport shuttle, or taxi, with slightly higher transfer times and costs on average. Pros: both airports are modern and well-equipped with lounges, dining, and transit links. Cons: transfer times can be long during peak traffic, and using the newer Daxing airport can mean longer ground transfers and sometimes fewer public transport options depending on your destination.
London is served by several airports with distinct roles: Heathrow (LHR) acts as the primary international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers, while Gatwick (LGW) is a busy mix of scheduled and leisure flights and can be slightly more budget-friendly on some routes. Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN) typically host many low-cost and charter airlines, making them common choices for budget travelers. City Airport (LCY) targets business traffic with a very central location and limited long-haul services. Travel times vary: Heathrow is usually about 45–60 minutes from central London by tube or Heathrow Express (25 minutes) with fares generally ranging from modest to premium; Gatwick is around 30–60 minutes by Gatwick Express or rail; Stansted and Luton are typically 45–90 minutes by train or coach; City Airport is about 20–30 minutes by DLR or taxi. Fares for public transport can differ widely depending on ticket type and time of day. Pros: Heathrow and Gatwick offer extensive connectivity and full terminal services; City Airport is most convenient for Canary Wharf and the Square Mile; Stansted and Luton can offer lower fares but often involve longer transfers. Cons: Heathrow can be busy and pricier for ground transport, while the low-cost airports may be farther from central London and have fewer amenities.
