PKX to BXP FAQ

Is Beijing West the same as Beijing South?

No. They are separate major railway stations. Use the full station name and station code shown for the selected train.

Does Daxing Airport have a rail connection to central Beijing?

Yes, airport rail and metro services connect Daxing with the city. The final route to Beijing West should be checked against current operating information.

What happens if the flight is delayed?

A delayed flight can make a same-day train unusable. Review the ticket change rules and avoid building the trip around a narrow, non-flexible connection.
