3 terminals and they're quite a distance apart. Very clean and big and nicely done up. Helpful airport staff too. Don't buy the SIM cards from the ladies at the phone booths - expensive.

Always enjoy using Beijing Capital T3. Stunning architecture, modern, clean and has one of the only Burger Kings in Beijing. And it's always nice to leave Beijing once in a while! ;)

The Air China First Class lounge is open to all Star Alliance gold members. This is one of the best lounge I have been to with hot food, drinks, and fresh fruits for all your enjoyment.

If you fly with CA use 4F lounge before 7AM and it's better

Eat, drink and shop around the check-in areas before you through the turnstiles to the trams. The offerings beyond the trams are fairly meagre.

Air China lounge has warm foods from 0630-0930, 1100-1400, and 1700-2000. The beef noodle soup is tasty, especially with the hot sauce!

Huge airport, each individual terminal larger than majority of most airports. One thing to worry about the most is the smog pollution. Lung and asthma sufferers beware

If you don't have checked baggage, just download Air China app to check in and use iPhone's Passbook to access security check and board flight. So cool and save time.

The jerks turned off the wifi access in the main building (domestic flights). Only t3e building (last one for international) works.

If you Need to get inside ring 2, Sometimes it's easier during rush hour to take the airport express train to SanYuan Qiao and grab a taxi instead of taking it to Dongzhimen

A very nice and modern airport! Was surprised when I walked in to terminal 3.

The biggest airport ever. Give yourself extra time both coming and going!

ATMs are placed near the entrances. The ATM machine keypad numbers on these are arranged differently than the US's.

Free WiFi access code is available form the booths after security. Just scan your passport and print it out!

FFS the security will check if the spare battery in your hand carry luggage to confirm that it is certified by some bloody authority. If you are not sure yours is legitimate, better leave it home.

For the international departure, passengers with luggage cases are now being allocated to a separate queue, which is actually shorter and slightly faster.

There's a good tea shop past customs/security in E gate area. I always use the rest of my RMB on Oolong and Jasmine pearls before heading home.

If you take a bus out to your plane and can choose between small vip or large bus, take the large bus. Large one leaves faster and small buses get easily held back.

Rate is low if you want change money and they take about 80 yuan at night as night tax. You can ask travelers to change if you can with bank rate .

If you're hungry and on a budget. Try the noodles in a cup at some of the stores. Hot water is available at taps everywhere.
Matthew TosielloAugust 5, 2013
If you have bags to check, get here early, lines are long for baggage check for domestic flights. No bags, avail yourself of the self-service machines!

Hilton Airport Hotel can be reached by walking (from Terminal 3), if you don't want to wait for shuttle bus - it's actually ~5 minutes of walking! :-)
Nick TanJune 26, 2012
Amazing terminal. More food choices. There's free wi-fi too -- no facebook or twitter access, though.
Joy HaysSeptember 5, 2012
Most of the desk and security people speak English. Fairly easy to get through but be prepared...the security pat downs are QUITE through!

İt is a very big and well organize airport :))
Dirk HabetsMay 23, 2011
Nice service if it works after trying half an hour. Don't use toilets cause it interrupts WIFi and you have to start with new registration! :-( (by the way: Facebook is blocked all over China!)

When going through international security check, door #14 is always one of the fastest, since the scanner is right behind the security officer.

C/D gates - domestic, E - int'l. Check gate # before proceed to security check since there are different entrances for C/D/E gates. Scan your BP to enter. D/E gates passengers need to take a train.

Looking for the British Airways lounge? Head to the BGS Premier Lounge, which is upstairs near gate E19. There's wifi too.

There is a Starbucks located in the arrival hall if you don't want to be ripped off by the local cafes.

If plenty of time, go to supercomfy chairs by gate E15 in T3. Excellent sunset view and planes taking off

Go to the city centre by train. The Airport is served by the Airport Express Line of the Beijing Subway. The line runs from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 and then to the city centre (takes 20 minutes)

If you get one of the bad flights and end up on a bus and their aren't any seats left the places at the end of the bus made for your luggage can be used as a fairly comfy seat

Bane of my t3 existence is middle lifts (only 2 there too). Other 2 are at oppo ends of terminal. Always crowded from arrivals & 9 times of 10 someone accidentally presses mid-floor (airline offices)

The most inhuman designed airport lacks of accessibility for elderly and disable passengers. Often assign the farest gates even nearby gates are unoccupied. Custom is slow so always need to run!

You can get wifi password next to E16 counter. You just need a passport and you get wifi codes.
Elina ParhodumenkoJune 12, 2013
To get login and password to wifi you should go to information desk and show passport if you do not have local phone number
