When to fly
The shoulder periods around January—late December and February—often have flexible pricing before or after peak holiday travel. Midweek departures typically offer more availability than weekend flights on this corridor. Booking a few weeks ahead tends to work well for economy fares, while last-minute options appear less frequently during the quieter months.
Airlines and what to expect
Full-service carriers like Korean Air and China Eastern include checked baggage and meals in their standard fares, with extras charged separately if needed. Jeju Air and Jin Air operate as low-cost options where you pay for seats only and add services like luggage or seat selection at checkout. Other airlines such as China Southern Airlines, Air China, Shanghai Airlines, Hong Kong Express Airways, VietJet Air and GetJet Airlines Latvia provide varying mixes of direct and connecting flights depending on their route networks.
Arriving — Beijing
Beijing Capital International Airport handles a large volume of traffic, which means longer security lines and more waiting in terminals during busy periods. Beijing Daxing International serves as the second gateway to the city with its own transfer logistics. Both airports offer metro access into downtown Beijing, along with taxi and ride-hailing options for travelers who prefer door-to-door service.
