Beijing Capital International Airport

Beijing Capital International Airport is about 32 km northeast of downtown Beijing, in Shunyi District. By taxi the trip to central areas such as Wangfujing or the Forbidden City takes about 45 to 90 minutes depending on traffic, while the Airport Express reaches Dongzhimen in roughly 20 to 30 minutes.

No. Beijing Capital (PEK) is northeast of the city, while Beijing Daxing (PKX) is a separate, newer airport far to the south. Airlines are split between them, and transferring between the two takes a long road or rail trip, so always check the three-letter code on your ticket and booking.

Passenger flights use two terminals, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. The former Terminal 1 building reopened in 2023 as a satellite wing of Terminal 2. Terminal 3 is the largest and is split into concourses T3C, T3D and T3E, linked by an automated train.

Air China and most Star Alliance and Oneworld airlines, such as United, Singapore Airlines, ANA and Cathay Pacific, use Terminal 3. Hainan Airlines and most SkyTeam airlines use Terminal 2. Assignments can change, so confirm the terminal shown on your ticket or the airline's app before you fly.

A free shuttle bus links Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, running about every 10 minutes from 6 am to 11 pm and every 30 minutes overnight. The Airport Express train also stops at both terminals. Allow extra time, since the buildings are several kilometers apart.

Follow the taxi signs from the arrivals hall to the official queue outside Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. Licensed taxis are metered. Avoid people inside the terminal who approach you offering rides. After midnight the queue can take 30 to 60 minutes, so plan ahead if you land late.

Yes. The Airport Express runs from Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 to Sanyuanqiao, Dongzhimen and Beixinqiao, where you can change to Beijing Subway lines. Trains run about every 10 minutes from early morning until late evening, and the ride into the city takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes.

Yes. DiDi is the main ride-hailing app in Beijing and can be used through its own app or as a mini program inside Alipay or WeChat. Choose the airport's marked ride-hailing pickup point for your terminal, which is separate from the official taxi queue, and expect higher fares late at night.

Most foreign travelers must complete China's arrival card, which can be filled in online through the NIA 12367 app, the immigration website or a WeChat or Alipay mini program. Nationals on China's visa-free list can stay up to 30 days through 2026, and 240-hour transit applies with an onward ticket.

The Great Wall sections most visited from Beijing, such as Mutianyu, lie north of the city, and the airport's northeast location puts them within reach by road without crossing central Beijing. Most travelers go by taxi or a pre-arranged car, since public transport to the wall requires several changes.

Airport buses run from outside Terminals 2 and 3 to Beijing South Railway Station, the terminus for high-speed trains to Shanghai and Tianjin. You can also take the Airport Express into the city and change to the subway. A taxi is the simplest option with heavy luggage.

Beijing uses China Standard Time, UTC+8, with no daylight saving time. The currency is the renminbi, also called the yuan (CNY). Mobile payment through Alipay or WeChat Pay is used almost everywhere, and both apps accept linked foreign cards. Summers are hot and humid, and winters are cold and dry.

Beijing Capital International Airport handled about 70.7 million passengers in 2025, according to published traffic figures. It is operated by Beijing Capital International Airport Co., Ltd., has three runways and serves as the main hub of Air China, with Hainan Airlines also running a large operation there.
