Beijing Airport Terminals
Beijing Airport consists of 3 operative passenger terminals:
Terminal 1
Beijing Airport Terminal 1 is the domestic terminal, serving regional flights to major Chinese cities.
Terminal 2
Beijing Airport Terminal 2 serves both domestic and international flights.
Terminal 3
Beijing Airport Terminal 3, also called the Dragon Terminal, is the second-largest terminal building in the world.
It is home of international and domestic flights of not represented carriers in the other two terminals.
Given its complexity, it is internally connected by the Airport Express.
Transfer between terminals
Terminal 1 and 2 are close to each other, whilst Terminal 3 is located away from the other two (about 5 km). It is important to keep in mind this information if passengers need to go from one terminal to another since it can take some time.
Distances between Beijing’s Terminals are large. It is strongly recommended to have enough time to go from one terminal to another.
To transfer between Beijing Airport Terminals, passengers have at their disposal inter-terminal shuttles that run between terminals from 06:00 am to 11:00 pm, every 10 minutes, and also between 11:00 pm and 06:00 am every 15-30 minutes.
