Baggage, seats and classes on the Xi'an to Beijing flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Xi'an to Beijing. Full-service fares normally 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.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Xi'an to Beijing

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in Beijing when you land

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. The reasons travellers fly from Xi'an to Beijing include the 798 Art District, the Olympic Park and Bird's Nest, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall at Mutianyu or Badaling and Tiananmen Square. For the first meal, try zhajiangmian noodles, hotpot and jianbing for breakfast.

Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Beijing; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Xi'an to Beijing

Spring and autumn are best; summer is hot and humid; winter cold and dry; the National Day holiday in early October is crowded everywhere. On the flight from Xi'an to Beijing, 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 Beijing to Xi'an

We book the return leg from Beijing to Xi'an just as easily, usually on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Xi'an to Beijing?

The cost of a flight from Xi'an to Beijing depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, 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 check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Xi'an to Beijing: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Xi'an to Beijing is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up
• 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 generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Xi'an to Beijing that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Airlines flying from Xi'an to Beijing

Air China, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines fly the Xi'an to Beijing 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 - Xi'an to Beijing
• China Eastern Airlines - Xi'an to Beijing
• Hainan Airlines - Xi'an to Beijing

Departure: Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY)

Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) is where the Xi'an to Beijing flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.

• 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
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book

Arrival: Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) and getting into Beijing

You arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK). 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. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Beijing, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many passengers continue from Beijing to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
