Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and the smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the country’s main international hub, handling most long‑haul and regional carriers including Kenya Airways and many international airlines; fares there can be mid‑range to premium depending on routes. It lies about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with taxi or ride‑hailing trips typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly KES 1,500–3,500; airport shuttle buses and private transfers are also common. Pros: extensive facilities, many flight options and connections. Cons: congestion and variable road delays at peak times. Wilson Airport is Nairobi’s primary domestic and light‑aircraft field, favored by regional and charter operators, scenic flight providers and some low‑cost carriers on short hops. Located around 8–10 km southwest of downtown, it can be reached in about 20–40 minutes by taxi or ride‑hail for roughly KES 700–1,500; some hotels offer transfers. Pros: quick check‑in, closer to the city and less crowding. Cons: limited international services and fewer passenger amenities compared with Jomo Kenyatta.

Beijing is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) is the older, full-service international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers and can be pricier to fly into, while the newer Beijing Daxing (PKX) acts as a large, modern gateway that increasingly hosts both legacy and budget airlines. Capital sits about 25–30 km northeast of the city center and Daxing roughly 45 km to the south; taxi or ride-hailing typically take 40–60 minutes from PEK and 50–70 minutes from PKX depending on traffic. Both airports connect by express train and airport shuttle buses — expect 20–30 minutes by express rail from Capital (fares vary) and around 30–40 minutes by high-speed rail or shuttle from Daxing with moderate fares. Pros: strong international connectivity, modern facilities and frequent city links. Cons: both can be busy during peak travel times and transfers between them may be time-consuming.

In different months, ticket prices from Nairobi to Beijing vary: minimum — $395 (January 2026), maximum — $406 (March 2026). Typically, the flight costs $400–$406.
