|
Airport
Overview: |
|
General: |
3 Terminals
as follows: |
|
Terminal 1: |
For
domestic flights operated by Hainan Airlines, Grand China Air, Deer Air
& Tianjin Airlines. |
|

By Taxi: Metered taxis are available at the airport, and insist that the meter is used
as over-charging is common. ~CNY 135/30-40 mins to the centre. Other
destinations are charged at ~CNY 2 per km. Airport taxis are often much more
expensive than regular taxis in Beijing. It can be worthwile getting the bus to
any part of the city and then taking a regular taxi to your final destination,
to avoid being overcharged. Taxi touts wait in the terminal, just after customs,
and their sole purpose is to rip you off. There are 2 official taxi lines just
outside arrivals. Taxi drivers do not expect to be tipped.
