Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NKG) functions as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, typically serving full-service carriers and some low-cost airlines. It’s about 35–45 km southeast of downtown Nanjing, with travel times of roughly 35–50 minutes by expressway depending on traffic. Public transport options include the airport express bus (around 40–60 minutes, modest fares) and the metro line S1 combined with transfers (usually 50–70 minutes, low cost); taxis or ride-hailing can be quicker but cost more and vary with traffic. Pros: relatively modern facilities, multiple carrier choices and straightforward access; cons: longer distance from the city center and occasional peak-hour congestion.
Beijing is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital (PEK) is the long-standing international hub, handling most intercontinental and flagship carrier flights, while Beijing Daxing (PKX) opened as a large, modern alternative that often carries both international and domestic services and is increasingly used by legacy and low-cost carriers. Capital sits about 25–30 km northeast of the city center and Daxing roughly 45–50 km to the south; typical transit times range from 30–60 minutes by express train or 45–90 minutes by road depending on traffic. Public options include airport express trains and long-distance buses; fares for rail links are generally modest, with taxis and app-hails costing more. Choose Capital for shorter transfers to northeastern districts and long-haul connectivity; Daxing can be quieter and newer but may add road time and slightly different airline mixes.
