Shenzhen Bao’an International (SZX) is the city’s main international gateway and a growing hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, often handling regional China, East Asia, and some long-haul routes. Flights here can be competitively priced compared with nearby Guangzhou or Hong Kong, though fares vary by season and carrier. The airport sits about 32–40 km northwest of central Shenzhen; travel options include the metro (Line 11) taking roughly 30–45 minutes, airport express buses around 40–70 minutes, and taxis or car services typically 35–60 minutes depending on traffic—fares vary by mode and distance. Pros: modern facilities and frequent connections; cons: can be busy at peak times and reach central areas slower than Hong Kong’s cross-border links.

Fly direct from Shenzhen to Beijing for the quickest, most convenient way to move between these two major Chinese hubs — fewer hassles, no transfers, and more time to enjoy the capital. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and delivers a more comfortable, predictable journey, making it ideal for business trips or short getaways.

Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the city’s primary international hub and a major transfer point for long-haul and domestic services, typically serving full-service carriers like Air China and many international airlines. Located about 25–30 km northeast of the city center, it can take roughly 30–60 minutes by express train or 40–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares for the Airport Express plus subway are usually modest, while taxis and ride-hailing can be pricier. Pros: extensive amenities, many lounges and frequent connection options. Cons: can be crowded and security/transfer times may be longer during peak periods. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is a newer, large-scale international and long-haul gateway that often handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, with growing connectivity to Europe, Africa and domestic China. Positioned about 46 km south of central Beijing, travel typically takes around 30–50 minutes by high-speed rail link or 60–90 minutes by car; shuttle buses and trains offer budget-friendly transfers while taxis cost more. Pros: modern facilities, efficient layouts and good long-haul capacity. Cons: greater distance to downtown and potentially longer ground-transfer times compared with closer airports. Beijing Nanyuan (historically served general aviation and some domestic flights) has in recent years been scaled back or repurposed as the city consolidated commercial traffic to the larger international airports; its role can be limited compared with PEK and PKX. When in operation, it’s relatively close to central districts, offering shorter taxi rides but fewer scheduled services and amenities than the main hubs. Pros: proximity and quicker surface transfers. Cons: limited destinations, airlines and passenger services compared with Beijing’s main airports.
