 | Beijing Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 67 |  |
From 1st September 2004, you do not need to pay airport tax for domestic or international tickets by buying a voucher. It is included in the ticket price.
From 20th September 2004, the old Terminal Building at Beijing Capital Airport reopens as Terminal 1 for China Southern flights. All CZ flights will operate from this terminal. It is 150 metres to the south-east of the existing Terminal 2. For transfers there is a corridor from the domestic wing of the terminal.
For code-share domestic flights you should double-check which Terminal will be used because I suspect that it will depend on who is operating the aircraft. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Beijing City Airport by kdoc13
The airport iteslf has two terminals, with a third one scheduled to open a year before the Olympics in 2008.
Getting around inside the airport is remarkably easy, and there is enough English writing to make sure foreigners don't get lost. Plenty of shops fill up the modern terminal 2, as do dining and ticketing centers.
Just a warning for first time travelers though. Getting into Beijing is easy, getting out is going to cost you. As with most airports in Asia, you must pay a tax to leave. Be sure to save some money to pay your way out. The airport will have more information about the current tax rate, but it was a lot more than I expected on my first trip back in 2001. Keep $50 on you (in Yuan) at the airport, and you should be able to make it through alright, with some dough to spare. Leave a Comment

In most countries, you *can* check in with an e-ticket at any desk, although there are usually also special kiosks or check-in desks as well.
In China, you *must* use special e-ticket check-in desks. Don't bother queueing up at normal check-in counters...they will make you go to the special counter.
At Beijing airport, for Air China domestic flights, use counters G01 to G03 if you have an e-ticket. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Thai International Airways, Singapore Airlines uses Terminal 3 while at this time of writing, Malaysian Airlines uses Terminal 2.
Terminal 3 exterior has the "scales of a dragon" and is one of the largest and most modern airport terminals. There is a replica of an ancient astronomy bronze structure as well as a fountain in the tranist of the departure hall.
There is a post office that sold philatelic stamps, postcards at the arrival hall before immigration. So not too late to send a mail before you leave Beijing. Theme: Airplane

 Flying KLM by filipdebont
From Schiphol, Amsterdam we had a direct flight with KLM to Beijing, China.
At first the travel agency had said we would fly with Lufthansa via Frankfurt, Germany. Anyway I was happy when I heard that they changed it into a direct flight.
Flight time was about 9 hours.
It was a good flight, and there was plenty of beer on board. Leave a Comment

There's a cheap shuttle bus that runs between the airport and the city for 16 yuan. You can buy tickets at a stand outside the terminal door. You can also take the taxi for convenience. For the taxi, you are responsible for an extra 10 yuan for the toll on the airport expressway. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

We traveled Hainan Airlines to Beijing. Hainan had just begun international flights to Seattle this year. The plane was a brand new Airbus. And what a delight! We benefited from very reasonable air fares, excellent service and great Chinese food. One of most interesting items on the whole flight were the directions (or hints) the airline imparted for a more comfortable flight. They were included as one of the video selections. I took pictures of the screen and hope to have those up soon. It can definitely spark some lively discussion. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

There are many local carriers in China, air network is generally speaking quite good and it is one of the most important way of transportation.
The quality of local airlines are not bad, safe/reliable/ good service /relatively new aircraft.
The air fare can be very cheap in some season when traffic is not busy, Beijing-Shanghai one way can get 50% discount for 1:30 flight time, which is about RMB500, just give you an idea.
I would suggest you arrange your internal flight locally, for sure you get better price than you buy it in your country!
Have a nice trip! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

As the new airport metro line is now starting to be constructed, the extension of the Airport Expressway down to Dongzhimen is being dug up and there is a lot of construction traffic day and night. This is adding to the journey if you are heading out to the airport from within the Second Ring Road area . Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
