Beijing Capital International (PEK) serves as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carrier flights and hosting major airlines like Air China and several SkyTeam partners. Located about 25 km northeast of downtown, it’s typically reached in 30–60 minutes by Airport Express train (roughly 20–30 CNY) or taxi (30–60 minutes, fares often 100–200 CNY plus tolls). As a large, well-equipped airport, it can be convenient for connecting passengers and offers extensive dining and shopping, though peak times may mean longer security lines and more walking between terminals. For cost-sensitive travelers, ground transfers can add time and expense. Beijing Daxing International (PKX) is a newer, large-scale airport positioned to relieve capacity and serve both international and domestic routes, with a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost operators increasing service. It sits about 46 km south of the city center and is typically accessed by high-speed rail or dedicated express trains taking around 30–45 minutes (fare ranges vary), or by taxi which can take 60–90 minutes depending on traffic and may cost correspondingly more. The modern terminal design can mean smoother transfers and shorter processes, but the greater distance can be a drawback for short-stay visitors or tight connections. Travelers often weigh slightly lower fares or newer facilities against extra transit time.

Lanzhou is served primarily by Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport (LHW), which functions as the region’s main international and domestic gateway rather than a low-cost outpost. It typically handles a mix of full-service Chinese carriers and some budget airlines on domestic and a few international routes, so fares can range from moderate to premium depending on season. Zhongchuan sits roughly 70–80 km north of central Lanzhou; road transfer is the norm, with airport shuttle buses taking about 1–1.5 hours and costing a modest fee, while taxis or ride-hailing can be faster but pricier. Pros: reliable connections and basic passenger facilities; Cons: long transfer distance to the city and occasional traffic-dependent journey times.
