Business Class Flights to Beijing
Fares, airlines & the best time to book, PEK, PKX
Nonstop seats to Beijing are scarcer than before; the right routing matters more than ever.
Beijing has two airports: Beijing Capital (PEK), the Air China Star Alliance hub northeast of the city, and newer Beijing Daxing (PKX) to the south, home to China Southern and China Eastern. Nearly all long-haul business class from North America lands at Capital.
U.S.–China flying is still rebuilding, so schedules remain thinner than before 2020. Air China flies nonstop from Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York-JFK, and United from San Francisco. One-stops via Tokyo, Seoul or Hong Kong fill the gaps, often with better seats and fares.
