Why fly to Beijing?

China alone accounts for 124 domestic routes from PEK, which means if you want to explore the country beyond the capital, this is your launchpad. But the international reach is what really surprised me. Six routes to the US, six to Japan, four to South Korea — and if you're feeling bold, the longest route out of here stretches all the way to Mexico City at 12,436 km. That's a serious haul, but it exists, and that tells you everything about how globally connected this airport is. The reach score of 95 out of 99 basically confirms what frequent flyers already know — few airports in Asia give you this many options in one place. Culturally, flying in or out of here puts you right at the center of one of the world's most historically rich cities. That's not nothing.

Tips for travelers at PEK

The Airport Express train is your best friend getting into the city — it runs directly to Dongzhimen and Sanyuanqiao stations in about 20 minutes and costs next to nothing compared to a taxi. Skip the cab unless you've got mountains of luggage or an early morning flight. Speaking of timing, spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are the sweet spots for visiting — summers get hot and hazy, which can affect visibility and mood equally. Also worth knowing: domestic and international terminals aren't always adjacent, so build in extra transfer time if you're connecting.
