Xi’an is served mainly by Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the region’s principal international and domestic hub that handles long-haul, regional and low-cost carriers alongside full-service Chinese airlines. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the city center, travel to downtown typically takes 40–60 minutes by airport express train or 50–80 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can range from modest metro/train fees to taxi costs that are usually higher. The airport offers a wide range of services and connections, making it convenient for international transfers, while occasional congestion and longer transfer distances can add time. Budget travelers may find competitive fares on secondary carriers, but plan extra time for peak periods.

Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX); Capital has long been the major international and transfer hub, while Daxing aims to handle growing long-haul and connecting traffic and can be more modern and spacious. Major full-service carriers including Air China, China Eastern and international airlines operate mainly from these hubs, while some budget and regional flights may use secondary airports. Both lie some distance from downtown — Capital around 25–30 km northeast and Daxing about 45 km south — reachable by airport express trains (30–60 minutes) or taxis/shuttles (45–90 minutes) with fares varying by route and time. Pros: extensive route networks and frequent services; cons: busy terminals and potentially long transfer times between airports.
