Planning your trip from Australia? Beijing Daxing Airport (PKX), officially Beijing Daxing International Airport, serves Beijing from a single passenger terminal south of the city. The airport is about 46 km south of Tiananmen Square in a straight line; the road journey is different. Domestic and international passengers use different processing areas within the same building. Beijing Capital International Airport has the separate code PEK, so confirm which airport your ticket names before arranging transport. It is in Daxing District, beside the boundary with Guangyang District in Langfang, Hebei.

Terminal and airlines at Beijing Daxing Airport

PKX has one passenger terminal for domestic and international journeys. A transfer between flights may still involve different floors, check-in, security or entry procedures. Follow the signs for your destination and the instructions on your onward boarding pass rather than assuming that a single building means a short connection.

China Southern Airlines is among the airlines flying from Beijing Daxing Airport. Check your booking for the correct check-in area and ask your airline about baggage handling when connecting between separately booked flights.

Getting to Beijing from Beijing Daxing Airport

Daxing Airport Express

The Airport Express uses the B1 rail concourse beneath the terminal and connects with Caoqiao. The train ride to Caoqiao takes approximately 19–20 minutes. This is the journey to the interchange, rather than the full trip to an address in central Beijing. Plan the onward metro route and any changes before leaving the airport.

Intercity railway to Beijing West

The railway station underneath the passenger terminal also provides trains connecting Daxing Airport with Beijing West. Choose this service if Beijing West suits your next journey, and check the current train departure and destination at the station. Keep the railway journey separate from the time needed to reach your final address.

Airport shuttle buses

Airport shuttle buses depart from the terminal airport-bus area for destinations in Beijing. Check the route destination before boarding, particularly if your accommodation is away from the centre. Follow the bus-area signs and confirm the correct stop for your return airport journey.

Parking

Parking structures lie north of the terminal and connect with it through pedestrian passages. Record where you have left your vehicle and follow the terminal signs when walking in. Arrange a meeting point before collecting someone so that you both head to the same passenger area.

Check-in floors and food at Beijing Daxing Airport

Finding your check-in area

Level 4 is the main check-in floor for domestic and international flights. Additional domestic processing is available on level 3 and B1, depending on the airline and passenger eligibility. Use your airline instructions to choose the right area; the presence of another check-in floor does not mean that every passenger can use it.

Places to eat

Dining is available in public terminal areas, including level 5, and in the departure concourses. Decide whether to eat before or after security according to your check-in progress and boarding time. Access to a departure concourse depends on your flight and completed passenger checks.

Preparing for a flight at Beijing Daxing Airport

Plan the journey to PKX around the check-in deadline given by your airline, with time for baggage drop and security. Rail arrival at the airport is only one part of that plan: you still need to reach the correct processing floor and boarding area. For an international journey, consult the official entry and transit guidance that applies to your passport and itinerary.

Keep the distinction between PKX and PEK in mind when booking a return flight or a connection. A ticket at the other Beijing airport involves a separate ground journey. Check your booking and airline messages for changes, and use the Traveloka flight status page when checking your flight.

Flights and flight schedule from Beijing Daxing Airport

Use the fare cards to compare journeys through Beijing Daxing Airport. Its schedule tables list selected upcoming flights with the date, airline and planned times. Search the dates you need and check whether every Beijing leg uses PKX, since a PEK booking involves the other airport.
