Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA), commonly serving as the region’s primary international and domestic hub, typically handles a mix of legacy carriers and growing low-cost carriers and often presents a broad range of fares. Located about 14 miles south of downtown Seattle, it’s usually reachable by Link light rail in roughly 35–45 minutes for a single-ride fare, or by taxis and ride-shares in 20–35 minutes depending on traffic; shuttle and rental car options are also common. Pros: extensive flight connectivity, modern facilities and frequent public-transit service. Cons: can be busy during peak hours and road congestion may add time and cost to transfers. Boeing Field/King County International Airport (BFI) functions mainly as a general aviation and secondary commercial facility rather than a major passenger hub, typically handling cargo, charters and private flights rather than scheduled major airline service. It sits about 4–5 miles south of downtown Seattle, so ground travel can be quick — often 10–20 minutes by car depending on traffic — but public-transit links are limited and rideshare or taxis are usually needed. Pros: proximity to the city and less terminal crowds. Cons: limited scheduled commercial options and fewer passenger amenities compared with the larger SEA airport.

Beijing is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the major international hub located northeast of the city, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; Beijing Daxing International (PKX), to the south, is a newer, large airport that often hosts a mix of full-service and budget airlines and is positioned as a secondary international gateway. Travel time to central Beijing can be around 40–60 minutes from either airport by road depending on traffic; the Airport Express train from PEK reaches the city in about 20–30 minutes plus transfers, while the high-speed train and express services from PKX usually take 20–35 minutes to central hubs. Fares vary by mode—metros and airport express lines generally cost a few dollars, airport shuttles and taxis can be more. Pros: both airports are modern with extensive services and multiple onward transport options. Cons: they sit on opposite sides of the city so connections between them can be lengthy, and peak-hour road travel may be slow.

In different months, ticket prices from Seattle to Beijing vary: minimum — $403 (September 2026), maximum — $601 (June 2026). Typically, the flight costs $478–$507.
