Airlines flying from Beijing to London

Air China and British Airways fly the Beijing to London route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Air China - Beijing to London
• British Airways - Beijing to London

Departure: Beijing Capital or Daxing (PEK / PKX)

Flights from Beijing to London leave from Beijing Capital or Daxing (PEK / PKX), serving Beijing - beijing is China's capital: the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square at its centre, the Great Wall in the hills to the north, and two airports - Capital (PEK) about 30 km north-east of the centre and Daxing (PKX) about 50 km to the south. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The Airport Express reaches Dongzhimen from Capital Airport in about 25 minutes and the Daxing Airport Express reaches Caoqiao; both end with a taxi and a language gap, so most visitors book a car with a driver, and the Great Wall is a road trip in any case.

• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Beijing Capital or Daxing
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly

Arrival: London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN) and getting into London

You arrive at London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN). The Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in London, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Beijing to London flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Beijing to London. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy

Flying with children, families and groups from Beijing to London

Three things to know about the flight from Beijing to London with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and normally a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in London when you land

Oxford Street and Regent Street, Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, the British Museum and Big Ben and Westminster Abbey are what most passengers come to London for. London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. Eat Borough Market street food, fish and chips and a full English breakfast while you are there.

If you want the days in London organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Beijing to London

London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town. On the flight from Beijing to London, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from London to Beijing

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from London to Beijing booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Beijing to London?

The cost of a flight from Beijing to London depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Beijing to London flight is frequently not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Beijing to London: how to pay less

A cheap Beijing to London flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we look up for you:

• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we check
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Beijing to London flight first, then the alternatives.
