Planning your trip from Australia? Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) serves Beijing, China, across the Chaoyang and Shunyi district area. This is Beijing Capital Airport, separate from Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX). Check the airport code as well as the terminal before arranging transport. T2 and T3 handle both domestic and international journeys, so the terminal number alone does not tell you which passenger procedures apply.

Beijing Capital Airport terminals and airline check-in

Terminal 2 airlines

Asiana Airlines uses T2 at Beijing Capital Airport. If you have used Asiana Airlines at PEK before, check the terminal carefully rather than relying on an earlier journey. T2 has both domestic and international passenger operations; match your flight number to the appropriate check-in information and read the departure displays when you reach the building.

• Air China
• China Southern Airlines
• Hainan Airlines
• China Eastern Airlines
• Vietnam Airlines

Terminal 3 airlines and connections

T3 also serves domestic and international flights. Confirm your airline's terminal on the e-ticket and check the boarding area after check-in. For a connection, ask your airline about the transfer route and baggage handling for your exact itinerary before you leave the arrival area. A terminal change and a connection within one terminal can require different steps.

• Air China
• Singapore Airlines
• Japan Airlines
• All Nippon Airways
• United Airlines
• Air Canada

Air China is listed in both T2 and T3. Use the terminal for your specific operating flight rather than selecting a building from the airline name alone.

Moving between T2 and T3

A free landside shuttle connects T2 and T3. It picks up at the arrivals level and travels to the other terminal's departures area. Follow the terminal-shuttle signs and confirm the destination before boarding. Build the transfer into your connection plan, together with any baggage collection, check-in or screening that your airline requires.

City transport from Beijing Capital Airport

Capital Airport Express

The Capital Airport Express links PEK with Sanyuanqiao, Dongzhimen and Beixinqiao. At T2, the station is on level B2 of the parking building; at T3, it is on level 2 of the parking building. Follow the rail signs from your terminal, then choose the city station and onward metro connection that suit your accommodation. Check the service information before depending on a rail journey for an early or late flight.

Airport buses and booked cars

Airport buses serve T2 and T3 and provide routes into Beijing. Read the destination at the ticketing area so you choose the right city stop rather than boarding only by the appearance of the bus. For ride-hailing, use the designated parking-building pickup area and match the location in the booking app to the airport signs. A booked car's pickup area should be checked separately from the terminal where your flight arrives.

Wi-Fi and meals at Beijing Capital Airport

Connecting to airport Wi-Fi

Free airport Wi-Fi requires identity authentication. The login options include SMS and a Wi-Fi authentication kiosk; follow the connection instructions shown at the airport. If your phone cannot receive the authentication message, look for the Wi-Fi authentication kiosk or ask for help. Keep your ticket and accommodation address available offline while arranging your connection.

Eating before boarding

Dining outlets are available in the terminal buildings. Choose a place that fits your passenger area and the time left before boarding. Finish check-in and identify the route to your boarding area before settling down for a meal, particularly if your journey includes a terminal change.

Paid rest options

Paid hourly rest options are available in T2 and T3. Ask the provider about room availability, charges and the terminal area you can access on your journey. Joy Rest Lounge is in T3E international departures after security and passport control, with rest seating and day beds. Entry depends on the provider or membership conditions; confirm eligibility before planning a lounge visit.

Preparing to depart from Beijing Capital Airport

Use the check-in and baggage deadlines given by your airline when deciding when to reach PEK. Add time for the journey from the rail station or car pickup area to your terminal, security and boarding. For a flight connection, ask whether baggage collection or another check-in is required before changing buildings.

Consult official entry and transit guidance for your international itinerary. Review your airline messages and use the Traveloka flight status page when checking the flight you booked.

Flights and flight schedule at Beijing Capital Airport

The fare cards let you compare travel dates and ticket options for PEK. The schedule table shows upcoming departures and arrivals by date, airline and scheduled time. Use these details to compare itineraries, then confirm the airport code, terminal and connection conditions on the booking you select. For a journey using two Beijing airports, plan the ground journey between them separately.
