On the plus side, there aren't many flights, so you can always find a place to sit. There is a Playground, vending machines with free water. The cons probably follow from the first plus. That there is a little Dutch free here, however, there are good promotions for perfumes, for example. Of course, you can't do without card payment jokes. They accept a visa at a conditional starbucks, but there is no one around the corner at a McDuck, they accept it next to a grocery store, and then they don't again. Therefore, it is better to clarify before entering the institution) so as not to stand in line once again in vain. The exits from the airport are also a separate joke, namely the numbering. We had a transfer to the hotel and the exit number was indicated, however, given that almost none of the airport staff speaks English, it took a long time to find the right exit (there are 2 floors, as a result, the first level is even, the second is not even). They also know a lot. Antiseptics were withdrawn, but selectively. They say liquid is allowed, but sprays are not allowed. Our luggage was generally flying to the end point, but all the suitcases were opened, which was visible. Why, is also an open question. Although there are not many flights here, there are still queues at the entrance to the clean zone, so put it in.
A good airport is not that big, the Chinese staff are friendly and friendly. Better than Istanbul. Hainan airlines liked the spacious space between the seats, the food is excellent and delicious, compared to Turkish airlins sky and earth airlines. The Chinese are many times better than the Turks. We flew to Turkish Airlines last year, the rows are cramped, the knees rest on the chair, the food is some kind of vomit.
The airport is huge, designed for large flows of people. The departure is perfectly organized, everything is fast and clear enough, but it still makes sense to arrive in 3 hours (for international flights), the distances inside are long. But it's going to be tedious anyway - long queues at passport control for foreigners. But it is very convenient to get to / from the city - metro, taxi, for every taste. At the exit, you can buy a local SIM card (cash or a union pay card). There are a lot of good food and shops, if you forgot to buy something, then do it at the airport.
There were a lot of people, but everything was organized competently, they left on time, without delay. It's clean inside! There are cafes, you can have a snack, there is European food. A network of souvenir shops where you can spend your last yuan.
The airport is large, there is a free bus between terminals 2 and 3, and it is convenient to get there. There is a small Family store, where you can buy food at a normal price. There is hot and cold water freely available. But there are few comfortable seats for long-term transfers, dirty smoky toilets.
The business hall is generally a laugh - there is only local Doshirak, tasteless sweets, and sausages that need to be opened with a toothpick)
at customs control, a large shmon is taken, tests are selectively taken from Russians, all equipment is checked, long queues at passport control, to go out into the city with a long transfer you need to have a hotel reservation
A convenient, large, modern airport! And the toilets are just the purest! Easy to navigate, metro to the city, huge parking, taxi waiting area behind glass, well organized.
I'm thrilled.. it's just space..There is a free hotel in the international department..it is booked in advance..The hotel is not ice..but if you're really tired.That'll do..there are a lot of massage chairs in the regional (the price is very affordable) and massage parlors..after 8 hours of summer, it's just a godsend..staff..and the people themselves are very responsive..but the prices of tea and other Chinese values are not so low.but if you didn't have time to buy it..then everything is available even with a little money..and for dollars, too, you can buy
Surprisingly, there are few people in the terminal premises, it is quite spacious. Of course, it's a long way to go for a transfer, there are travelators, but not everywhere. Clean and calm.
This is the most disgusting airport in the world... We flew in January 2025 from Moscow to Bangkok via Beijing and back. We flew there, planned to go out into the city, take a walk. We bought liquor at a duty-free store in Moscow. Luggage, 2 suitcases, was in transit. We sorted it out, got a Chinese visa, and went out into the city. When we returned, they searched us very carefully at customs. As a result, they said that you can't take the liquor with you. You can put it in your luggage, but it's not clear how to do it, and there wasn't time for it already.. As a result, we took away an open bottle in a sealed bag, with which we wanted to celebrate the arrival...
We flew back, also went out into the city, searched and probed again (this has never happened, we fly often) It's like we've just been released from prison.. A flight attendant walked on the plane with a tray of headphones, stupidly swept by like a hurricane, did not give it to anyone, had to be called. She almost threw them in my face. The food is ordinary, alcohol. We didn't drink, we didn't really want to. Of the 3 hot options, there was only one available. Upon arrival in Moscow, it turned out that one suitcase was missing. We knew that it was forbidden to put fruit, but we did not attach any importance to this, since there had never been any problems with it anywhere. They wrote a statement and went home. A few days later, they took him away and I was just stunned... They pulled out a bottle of hair spray. Moreover, he calmly flew the same way to Bangkok, back, apparently, someone needed him... Complete trash.. Keep in mind that alcohol hand spray is also taken away at customs.. I don't recommend this airport, they have some kind of game going on there... The transfer was at first 8, then 6 o'clock. By the way, Chinese New Year is more fun to celebrate in Bangkok than in Beijing). There is absolutely nothing to do at the airport, they found a Doshirak from adequate prices, brewed it right next to the toilet, there is boiling water from the tap) because they arrived early for the first time and only one stall was open from the entire airport)
In general, everything is in order, registration and boarding are easier than with us. Clear. The security service is at the level.
I did not like the fact that at the entrance they wrap their suitcases at different prices, depending on the size of the suitcase, and tourists are all 50)))
And then even at registration they were forced to open the suitcase and sent to re-wrap it.
Well, they are not a thorn in Russian)))
An excellent airport, everything is clear, fast and without too much fuss. A beautiful and modern building, with transfers between terminals and delicious national cuisine!
I took tickets in transit through this airport, the time between flights is 5 hours... the only thing I didn't take into account was that the terminals were different , but it turns out in vain. Upon arrival, I filled out the form at the counter, joined the queue at Emigration, stood by me and the same visa-free people were sent to another queue to get a temporary permit ( day - 144 hours without a visa ) after defending myself there, I received an answer that I did not need this permission, they say, ask for a transfer to another terminal, it all took about two hours, filled out the boarding pass by hand, waited for a private bus)) I was really riding alone in it ... fortunately, there was no luggage, because people who were flying in the same way as me (transit; terminal change, less than a day) were standing at these counters, it was not clear how long it was (in short, I did not see them in the third terminal, I hope everything is OK with them))) No kidding...
It's not clear where each step is, but the staff is stupid and negotiating with each other. 🙈 The airport itself is also peculiar, I didn't understand where to change the dollars,the payment is everywhere for yuan..
A comfortable airport. It is very easy to navigate. All information is duplicated in English. The path to the Aeroexpress (subway) is well marked.
Unfortunately, as elsewhere in China, I could not buy Aeroexpress tickets for cash at the vending machine. A resident's ID is required, the passport does not pass. I had to buy at the cash desk with the presentation of a passport. It was convenient to get to the metro by Aeroexpress. The price for all metro and Aeroexpress crossings in the MetroMan app is accurate. You can focus on it.
It is very convenient with accessibility to arrive and leave on an inexpensive Aeroexpress train. The prices are normal for food, but the dutik is poor by choice, at least on domestic flights.
Beijing is Beijing. People are very responsive.they will always help and tell you. I liked everything. We arrived and left without delay. China is a good country.
Anyone who has visited the airport of our hometown of Irkutsk is happy to receive any other service, cleanliness, duty free and other benefits that are not available to us in our native land!
An unpleasant experience. We flew from Thailand on Hainan Airlines. We read about the inadequate security service of this airport. Therefore, there was NOTHING forbidden in the suitcase at all. No powerbanks, no lighters, no electronics, no cold/hot weapons, and the suitcase was still detained without explanation. Moreover, they refused delivery, i.e. the fact that they did not load it unreasonably is not considered their fault. (i.e. they had to go to Sheremetyevo themselves)
The employees of the Sheremetyevo luggage storage said: It's good that they come with the locks cut off.
A healthy machine with a minimum number of shops. There is a normal noodle shop where they give noodles and beer.
Beer for 18 yuan
Noodles 49
The lounge from the banks is expensive and not that meager, it's some kind of performance.
Two types of doshiraks, 3 types of snacks, soda, tea and
All.
- That's really all there is....
I don't advise you to go.
The airport is large, clear, the toilets are clean and the food is reasonably priced. Just like in the city... Duty free has a good large selection of cosmetics and perfumes and alcohol at reasonable prices, but silk and clothes of lame quality and the price tag is unrealistic.
The check-in waiting area is very inconvenient, there are few seats, cafes do not work at night, so it is impossible even to drink coffee. The inspection was too thorough, all lighters were taken away, you can't put them in your hand luggage or in your luggage. In general, I will try to avoid Chinese airports
Inspection at each stage. Power banks over 10,000 are very difficult to hold. They check everything 10 times. The electronics are run through the detector twice. Because of this queue. Come in advance.
A huge airport. Very convenient and thoughtful. There are many cafes, shops and places where you can sleep. It is easy to get to the city by train. No complaints
Surprisingly, for such a large airport, it is very boring to spend time waiting for a flight here.
All cafes close very early and if it's late, then you just sit and get bored.
I didn't like the situation when I found a Chinese man's wallet and tried to give it to the airport staff, but they jumped away from me like from fire and showed no initiative in finding the owners...
Excellent airport, convenient, all navigation, including in Russian. The inspection and inspection processes are set up correctly and take place very quickly. Cafes and souvenir shops are present.
I saw this place. There was a long transfer. The seats are disgusting. The employees in the stores are rude, who did not bother to help in any way and looked into the translator, twisting their face to a spoiled tomato. The cafe is the only one with food that did not quite resemble, let's say, the stomachs of a European. It is clear that this is China, but the airport is international, which means it is international. Well, at least one soup could be added to the menu. Border guards are generally a separate species. An infinitely glassy look, but so curious! They were infuriating. The only light in the window was a woman, a cleaner. I explained to her in sign language that I wanted to wash my hair, she just tried to understand and understand, took me to her room and left me where I could wash my hair and put myself in order. She also brought me a towel. Admittedly, the airport is very clean, but this is not the merit of all those I wrote about above, but still such beautiful women cleaners. And well, there were wonderful guys in the cafe, polite, helpful, it was just impossible to eat there.
Strictly, appetising, in the transit zone you need to be ready for queues, a full inspection of things, lighters and something similar should be handed over immediately or not at all. The business halls are very decent, the food is delicious, especially the small bananas, incredible.
It's a great airport. Huge, clean everywhere, everything you need is there. I was there for 7 hours in transit. Wi-Fi can be connected, there are vending machines, you can also charge your phone via USB, there are vending machines with free cold and hot water. There is a cafe paying in yuan. There is an exchanger. But I didn't use it, I just took some food with me. There are shops, a beautiful fountain and a corner for children. There are very few people and a lot of empty waiting areas where you can comfortably sleep. Hand luggage is checked very carefully. I had a blood pressure monitor and they forced me to put two finger batteries in it. Water was also not allowed. Take just an empty bottle or thermos with you, you can pour it in the waiting room.
Huge! Here you have excalators, trains, and kilometers to wind up on foot ...
And at first it seems that "the devil will break his leg" in it, but if you exhale and relax and follow the signs, then everything falls into place. Yes, you need to invest more time.
It may be rude, but the airport is completely stupid. There is only one shop in the transit terminal, and of course duty free. Food can only be bought in this shop, and then it's a bun or a doshik. There is only one cafe, I can't say anything about it. There are machines with drinks, and with hot and cold water.
A large airport with several terminals, with bus service between some. Long distances. Keep an eye on your hand luggage during the security check. For the second time, items (wristwatches) disappeared from the bag after the inspection.
A good airport for transit, we were in Terminal 2. There is hot and cold water for free. But there is a problem with food, noodles or Starbucks with coffee and sandwiches (sandwich), there is no healthy food.
An unrealistically gigantic airport. Clean, stylish and well maintained.
It overshadows the behavior of airline employees who do not care about the disabled and passengers with children. They are sent to the general queue, despite the fact that the airport promotes a system of caring for such visitors, and I will write about this separately on my website, there was a tin in general.
At check-in, the apparently bribed airline manager, who knows about a separate check-in desk, forced a disabled person with a child to stand in the general queue, and sent a group of young people to a separate window, just where it turns out passengers with children and disabled people should be invited to check in for the flight. Nationalism or a corrupt scheme is up to you to decide. As a result, my daughter and I suffered in the general queue and watched as all foreigners with children were sent to the general queue, and so let's say our own to the check-in window that is designated for the disabled and passengers with children. In general, an interesting place and interesting people. We did not swear or ask for the right window) waited in the general and went to board.
It is unlikely that managers or marketers will read this here, so I will soon write them an open letter on how to deal with such a situation.
Easy check-in and a pleasant flight for everyone.
I do not advise you to fly from here, but you have to. 100,500 checks, fill out a bunch of papers, they will take away the power bank if there is more. Taxi drivers, as in the 90s, give their fares if you do not have an Alibi. I didn't like it at all
A huge airport. But everything is intuitive. The staff is responsive, always ready to respond to a request.
The only major disadvantage is that Terminal 3 completely lacks leisure time for waiting planes. The terminal is new, only cosmetics and alcohol boutiques are open in it. There is also a dead Starbucks and a cart with some nonsense. Other shops and cafes are in no hurry to open, no new location has been opened in 1.5 months.
We flew with a transfer in Beijing, the airport is large and clean, there are shops. Water coolers

A huge airport, including international and domestic terminals. A steam train of several trailers runs between the terminals. The main thing is not to get confused where to go on it, and where to get your luggage. Upon arrival, the border patrol and customs are carried out quickly and in a high-tech manner. When departing, you need to be careful: the airport terminals diverge with a star, so you need to carefully look where your exit is, otherwise you will return far away if you make a mistake. And in general, it is cozy, there are cafes and shops located just in the center of the "star". The prices in them are like at the airport...
The airport is large, the navigation is clear, it is difficult to get lost. Strict pre-flight inspection, lighters are taken away, backpacks were screened several times, we were in transit through Beijing, barely made it to our flight, although it was 3 hours for a transfer.
A large hub, water is free, you do not need to receive luggage when transferring, everything is automatically reloaded onto your next plane, food in restaurants at city prices, they let you out into the city if you fly in transit at the discretion of the border guards, it is desirable that there be a time reserve.
Everything looks very nice. I would especially like to emphasize the responsiveness of the staff and the cleanliness of the airport building. And not a single Uzbek or other nations.
I flew in the summer of 2024 . the connection took 23 hours, we were allowed into the city on a visa for 72 hours (I did it at the airport). One of the oddities is the very picky security service... matches of a powerbank lighter (from 10,000) ... you can't do anything at all ,,, no one knows English at all... For example, put a Google translator right away. I flew from Terminal 2 ... the terminal is empty.... there are zero people in it.
The airport is convenient.The departure and arrival were overnight.It was possible to exchange rubles for yuan.The girls do not speak English on the information, but they are happy to help through a voice translator.To enter transit, you need to fill out a declaration.We were asked for a hotel voucher.In general, the airport is not bad, there are charging stations, unlike Daxing airport.There are none on the floor of international departures, there are only on domestic departures and after immigration control.
It's a big airport (like everything else in China).
But I was surprised that there were only 4 check-in counters for the plane to Moscow, one of them was VIP.
It's a good airport. I recommend eating outside, since inside there is only a Starbucks with a limited range of food ... in general, the airport is normal!
I am writing about transit, I sat there 2 times for 9 hours. There are no exchangers, the taxfree refund works as it wants. In the cafe, payment is only in yuan, in duty-free only alcohol, cigarettes and perfumes - you can pay $. There is a hotel, if there are places, then calculate $ 100 for 12 hours. There is Wi-Fi, the password can be obtained from vending machines. There are vending machines with hot and cold water. My recommendations for transit if it is less than 24 hours (you will not be allowed into the city): take a rollton, a doshirak (noodles, mashed potatoes), a plastic mug, tea, coffee, a pillow (sleep on chairs) with you in your hand luggage. If you smoke, take an electronic cigarette with you (smoke in the toilet in a quiet place).
