Qingdao is served primarily by Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport (TAO), a modern international hub that replaced the older Liuting field and now handles the bulk of long-haul and low-cost services. Major carriers and regional Chinese airlines typically operate alongside several budget airlines, so fares can range from economical to mid-tier depending on season and routing. The airport sits about 39–46 km northeast of Qingdao’s central districts; common transfers include airport express buses (roughly 40–70 minutes, modest fares), taxi or ride-hailing (around 40–60 minutes, fare depending on traffic), and the city’s rail/metro connections which can be faster at peak times. Advantages include up-to-date facilities and good international connectivity; drawbacks can be longer transfer times to the city and occasional congestion during holidays.

Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX), plus a few smaller domestic fields. Capital has long been the primary international hub handling many legacy carriers and SkyTeam alliances, while Daxing is a newer, modern gateway that attracts a mix of full-service and growing low-cost services for long-haul and domestic routes. Fares can be competitive on both depending on season and carrier. Capital sits about 30–35 km northeast of the city center with express train and airport shuttle options taking roughly 25–45 minutes (fares vary by service); Daxing is about 45–50 km south and is linked by high-speed airport express and intercity trains taking 30–50 minutes. Taxis and ride-hailing are widely available but can be affected by traffic and airport pick-up rules; expect higher costs for longer distances. Capital is convenient for established transfer connections and has extensive amenities, while Daxing offers newer facilities and streamlined flows but can feel remote for some travelers.

Fly direct from Qingdao to Beijing for the fastest, most convenient way to reach the capital—no layovers, less hassle, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting flights can occasionally be cheaper, a nonstop journey saves hours and offers greater comfort, making it the smart choice for busy travelers.
