Hong Kong to Beijing flights time

Beijing Flights

The major international airport in Beijing is Beijing Capital International Airport. In 2008, in time for the Olympics, the huge new Terminal 3 opened which will greatly increase capacity at Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA).

China's other major gateways are Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok and Shanghai's two airports: Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao.

Beijing Flights From the USA

In recent years, travel costs between the US to China have dropped; this may change however as a result of rising fuel prices.

The major US-China carriers are Air China, China Eastern Airlines (From LA), Cathay Pacific (via Hong Kong), All Nippon Airlines (ANA), Japan Airlines (JAL) via Tokyo, United Airlines (from Chicago & Seattle non-stop), Northwest/KLM (via Tokyo), and Korean Air via Seoul. The non-Japanese airlines tend to be a bit lower priced, with service to match. To Canada, Air Canada has low-cost flights from Vancouver and Toronto. Flight times are approximately 13 hours from the West coast and around 20 hours from the East Coast.

Beijing Flights From Europe

Aeroflot, Austrian Airlines, Air France, Lufthansa, Swiss International Airlines, JAL, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, British Airways (BA), KLM, and Thai International Airlines also fly between Europe and China. From the UK, British Airways and Air China fly non-stop (10 hours) between London Heathrow and Beijing.
