Airport facilities

️ Airport information

Beijing has two major commercial airports: Beijing Capital (PEK), northeast of the city, and Beijing Daxing (PKX), to the south. They are separate airports with their own terminals and ground transportation connections.

PEK is one of Air China’s main hubs, serving domestic and international flights. Passengers connecting between PEK and PKX must travel across the Beijing metropolitan area, as the two airports are not part of the same complex.

Passenger terminal

Passenger operations are concentrated at Terminals T2 and T3. Part of the former Terminal 1 now operates as a satellite boarding area connected to T2.

Terminal 2 (T2): handles domestic and international flights operated by several airlines. It has check-in, security, arrivals and boarding facilities. Passengers assigned to Gates A01–A16 complete check-in and security procedures at T2 before continuing through an approximately 600-meter covered walkway, equipped with moving walkways, to the satellite area in the former T1 building.

Terminal 3 (T3): is Air China’s main operating terminal and is divided into several sections:

T3C: the main building, containing check-in, arrivals, baggage claim and domestic flight facilities.

T3D: serves selected domestic flights. Passengers traveling from Gates D01–D58 use internal express shuttle buses after passing security. Approximately 30 minutes should be allowed between the security checkpoint and these gates.

T3E: the international boarding section, connected to T3C by an internal automated people mover (APM).

The T3 automated people mover provides transportation within the Terminal 3 complex but does not connect T2 with T3.

Terminal and gate assignments depend on the airline and flight. Passengers should check both before proceeding through security and follow the internal signs for connecting flights.

Currency exchange and ATMs

The airport has currency exchange offices and ATMs in Terminals T2 and T3.

At T3, near Exit B in the international arrivals area, the Beijing Service center provides services for international visitors, including cash withdrawals using foreign bank cards, currency exchange, SIM cards and information about mobile payments and transportation in Beijing.

This facility is particularly useful for passengers who need to arrange payments and transportation after arriving in China.

️ Airport lounges

The airport has VIP lounges in Terminals T2 and T3, with access subject to airline policies and membership requirements.

Terminal 2: has lounges for eligible domestic and international passengers, operated by airlines and airport service providers.

Terminal 3: Air China operates lounges in T3C for domestic passengers and in T3E for international flights, including facilities for eligible first-class, business-class and frequent flyer program members.

Lounges are located in different departure sections, so passengers should use the facilities corresponding to their terminal and flight type.

️ Services and dining

Terminals T2 and T3 have restaurants, cafés, shops and travel retail outlets in public areas and departure zones.

The airport provides 24-hour luggage storage at the following locations:

Terminal 2: Level 1, near Gate 7 in the arrivals area.

Terminal 3: T3C, Level 2, on the western side of the public arrivals area.

Temporary storage is also available for certain items that cannot pass through security checkpoints, subject to the airport’s acceptance conditions.

WiFi and connectivity

The airport offers free Wi-Fi throughout the terminals, including public areas and departure lounges.

Access may require identity verification using a mobile phone or travel document. Passengers without a Chinese mobile phone number can use designated verification facilities or request assistance in the terminal.

Accessibility assistance

The terminals provide assistance services for passengers with reduced mobility, which should be arranged with the airline before traveling.

Parking 2 and Parking 3 have accessible parking spaces and support services for eligible passengers, including wheelchair assistance and help with luggage.

Parking

The airport has designated parking facilities for each terminal:

Parking 2: located opposite Terminal 2, with short-term and long-term parking areas distributed across several levels.

Parking 3: located south of Terminal 3, with separate areas for short stays and extended parking.

Both parking facilities have accessible spaces and designated passenger pickup areas. Drivers should use the parking facility corresponding to their passenger’s departure or arrival terminal.

Hotels near the airport

When choosing accommodation near Beijing Capital Airport, passengers should check whether the hotel provides transfers from T2 or T3, as the terminals are separate and pickup locations may differ.

Cordis, Beijing Capital Airport is located near Terminal 3 and offers a complimentary 24-hour shuttle service, with pickup on Level 1 of T3, in the outer lane between Gates 5 and 7.

Additional hotels are available in the Tianzhu and Shunyi areas, some offering airport shuttle services. Passengers using T2 should check whether their chosen hotel provides pickup from that terminal.

International transit passengers should be aware that hotels located outside the transit area require passing through Chinese immigration and meeting the applicable entry requirements.
