Cheap Flights from Samarkand to Beijing — $254

Samarkand International Airport (TAS) serves as the main gateway to Uzbekistan’s historic city and typically functions as an international and regional hub rather than a low-cost domestic outpost. It usually handles a mix of national carriers and some regional airlines, with seasonal charter flights bringing additional options; fares can be competitive on regional routes but vary by season. The airport lies about 5–7 km northwest of the old city; taxis and shared minibuses are the most common transfers, taking roughly 15–25 minutes and usually costing a modest local fare, while some hotels arrange airport shuttles. Pros: convenient proximity to historic sites and straightforward procedures; cons: limited late-night services and fewer long-haul connections compared with larger Central Asian hubs.

Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with a smaller suburban Tianjin/Binhai option for some low-cost or regional flows. Capital (PEK) has long been the large international and transfer hub, hosting many full-service carriers and alliances; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season. Daxing (PKX) is positioned as a modern international and long-haul gateway that also handles domestic flights and some low-cost operations. Both airports sit roughly 25–50 km from central Beijing: Capital is about 25 km northeast and Daxing about 46 km south. Main transfers include express train and airport express metro lines (25–35 minutes from downtown for Capital’s airport express, 30–50 minutes for Daxing by express rail), intercity and city buses (45–90 minutes), and taxis/ride-hailing (30–60 minutes depending on traffic). Fares vary widely; expect metro/express fares in the few CNY tens and taxi rides often in the CNY hundreds for central routes. Pros: Capital offers extensive international connections and frequent shuttle links; Daxing is modern with efficient layout and good long-haul facilities. Cons: Both can be far from the historic core in heavy traffic; transfers between the two airports can be time-consuming.
