PKX Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Beijing Daxing Airport.
What to Expect
Beijing Daxing Airport (Code: PKX) is one of the world’s largest single terminal airports in the world. With four runways and the capacity to build up to 7 eventually, the airport currently offers 79 gates. The starfish design of the terminal means that the walking distance to each gate is no more than 600 meters. Of course, with this being a new airport, there are plenty of amenities to keep you occupied, including a yoga room, five outdoor gardens, spa facilities, pay-to-enter lounges and more. Food options are available 24 hours a day, and the WiFi is free and reportedly very fast to help pass away the time.
The airport is very well-connected via public transportation. A dedicated subway station served by the Daxing Airport Express Line shuttles passengers to Caoqiao Station, 40 km away on a high-speed train in under 20 minutes.
Sleeping in Daxing Airport
As this is a new airport, we do not yet have any sleep-related airport reviews. The airport website suggests you bring earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones to sleep on the benches in the gated areas (with armrests).
There is a hotel located inside the airport – the Beijing Aerotel Hotel, where you can rent rooms by the hour. See our Airport Hotels section below for locations.

Security & Safety
Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:
- Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
- Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
- Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
- Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
