Beijing Capital International Airport serves China's capital city as the primary international airport. Given that Beijing is the most populous capital city in the world, it’s no wonder that Beijing Airport is one of the busiest airports. Passengers who need help with finding a suitable Beijing Airport shuttle can choose from many ground transportation services.
If you’re staying in a city hotel near the airport, check if they can provide you with airport transportation. Many Beijing hotels with free airport shuttle transfers are available only minutes from PEK. So, if you still haven’t made a hotel reservation, check out one of the following accommodation options: Hilton Beijing Capital Airport, Cordis by Langham Beijing, and Crowne Plaza Beijing Airport. More affordable hotel offers are provided by Home Inn and ibis Styles Beijing Capital Airport, and both have a free shuttle bus service.
PEK provides Beijing Airport shuttle service that runs every day from Beijing Airport to downtown for RMB 50 (~$7) per passenger. The airport shuttle bus to the city center departs once there are 6 passengers aboard. This is a great shared shuttle service — it’s affordable and convenient since the shuttles aren’t crowded.
Airport Express shuttle transportation service runs every 10 minutes to Sanyuanqiao Station and Dongzhimen Station, which connect you to numerous other destinations. The bus stops are placed at B2 of Terminal 2 and in the Parking Garage No. 3 of Terminal 3. One-way fare is RMB 25, which is less than $4.
Local shuttle buses operate daily between the airport and destinations like Fangzhuang, Olympic Village, Wangfujing, the Beijing railway stations, and more. Most of the local airport bus lines run every 30 minutes, and the bus ticket counters are at terminals 2 and 3. The bus fare depends on your destination, but it’s usually around RMB 25. Several airport bus routes also serve Shunyi District.
Beijing Capital Airport has two taxi stops outside Gate 5 to 9 of Terminal 2 and outside Terminal 3 — look for the airport signs inside the terminal building. We advise you to grab a taxi cab that displays an official airport certification. Airport taxi services are reliable and prompt, which makes them a great alternative to Beijing Airport shuttle.
