Beijing Capital International Airport Woes
So I'm flying out of PEK next week, and I've heard horror stories about the security lines. Seriously, three hours?! My flight's at 7 AM...should I just show up at 3 AM to be safe? Anyone have tips… more
Three hours is wild, but not unheard of at PEK, especially during peak times. 7 AM flight? Aim for 4:30 AM arrival. That gives you a buffer, even if the lines are insane. Honestly, that's pushing it, but better safe than missing your flight. You'll probably find yourself bored though, even with a book. Wi-Fi is... spotty at best. Sometimes it works great, other times, it’s like trying to dial-up in 1998. Pack extra snacks, just in case the airport food options aren't appealing after that wait. And bring a portable charger, you'll need it to fight off the Wi-Fi induced boredom.
Yeah, four thirty AM arrival sounds brutal. I should of considered that. Thanks for the heads-up about the wifi – I'll definitely bring a portable charger, and maybe a downloaded movie instead of just a book. Better safe than sorry, I guess...missing a flight from @Beijing would be a nightmare. I'm already stressed enough about the whole thing.
