Cheap flights from Beijing to Bangkok

Finding flights between two of the busiest and most popular cities in Asia is easy, even if they are five hours apart. The low prices on these routes will impress you, even if you have little time to book in advance. It’s something to keep in mind if you’re planning that trip from China to Thailand.

Flying out of Beijing

Not surprisingly, there is more than one airport that serves Beijing and the surrounding region, with yet another in the planning stages. One is Beijing Nanyuan Airport (NAY), which is primarily used by military aircraft and China United Airlines. Your flight to Bangkok presently leaves from Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), the region’s primary international airport, which is linked to an equally sophisticated public transportation system.

• Subway The Express Rail Line runs between Terminal 2 and several points around and in the city.
• Bus Express buses operate from the airport and connect to other bus and train stations including stops in the city and suburbs.
• Free Shuttles The airport provides transportation for passengers traveling between terminals at the airport, for those arriving via subway or getting a connecting flight.

Airlines that Fly from Beijing to Bangkok

Several budget and conventional carriers make this route, which tends to be even busier when the holidays begin and the route is populated by tourists in addition to the usual traffic. There are several choices available to accommodate this demand.

• Hainan Airlines is an airline based in China that has regular, direct services to Bangkok as well as points in Canada that include Calgary and Toronto.
• Air China, Star Alliance partner with Air Canada, operates flights on this route in case you have points or perks waiting.
• Malaysia Airlines makes this flight with a stopover in its home airport of Kuala Lumpur International (KUL).
• Lucky Air a small airline based in China with plans to expand to other airports, currently serves this route with a stop in its home city of Kunming.

The prices, which are already pretty low, drop even more if the flight has a stopover. These are often in other compelling cities such as Guangzhou and Kuala Lumpur, something you can take advantage of if your itinerary is flexible.

Bangkok Airports Information

There are two airports that serve Bangkok, a city bustling with commuters, tourists, travelers, and business people.

• Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) generally handles more international traffic along with being an important regional hub.
• Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) is famous for being the oldest airport in Asia and the busiest in the world in terms of low-cost airline traffic.

Flights between Beijing and Bangkok almost exclusively land in BKK, with some Air Asia flights arriving at DMK. BKK is newer, only in operation since 2007, and has more to offer in terms of public transit and rail links you can connect with directly from the airport. For those lucky enough to have time during a stopover, DMK has a golf course courtesy of the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) located between two runways, and BKK is famous for its variety of duty-free shopping options.
