Flying from Beijing to Dhaka
In short
Air China is the only airline flying nonstop from Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka (DAC). Its Boeing 737-8 covers 3,042 km in about 6 hours 10 minutes, close to an hour longer than the northbound trip. Business travellers, students and Bangladeshis working in northern China use it most.
CA701 on Air China's 737-8
CA701 runs about four times a week. The 737-8 is the MAX version of the 737, a single-aisle jet that in Air China's layout typically seats about 172. On a flight of over six hours in a narrowbody, an aisle seat makes it easier to stand and stretch.
The route listing gives 23 kg in the hold and 7 kg in the cabin. Families heading home with cartons of gifts may find that tight, so weigh everything at the hotel and pre-book extra weight with the airline.
Capital Airport Express to Terminal 3
Capital sits about 32 km north-east of the centre, and Air China operates mainly from Terminal 3. The Capital Airport Express has five stops: Beixinqiao, Dongzhimen and Sanyuanqiao in the city, then Terminal 3 and Terminal 2. It runs on its own track, so road traffic does not affect it.
Read the three-letter code on the ticket. Daxing, Beijing's other international airport far to the south, has its own express line that does not link with the Capital line, so a mix-up means crossing the whole city.
From Capital, Air China has the Dhaka sector to itself. China Southern flies to Dhaka from Daxing, which is the alternative if your dates sell out; allow for the different transfer across Beijing.
Landing soon after departure time, local clock
Set your watch back two hours. China keeps UTC+8 all year and Bangladesh UTC+6, and neither changes for summer. With two hours handed back, you land not long after the departure time on the clock.
Passport and visa checks before Beijing
Bangladeshi citizens need only a valid passport to come home. Chinese and other foreign travellers should confirm Bangladesh's current visa requirements with a Bangladesh mission before leaving Beijing.
Agree a meeting point outside Shahjalal
The flight lands at Hazrat Shahjalal in Kurmitola, on the city's northern edge. International arrivals use the ground floor of the shared Terminal 1 and 2 building, where you clear immigration, collect bags and pass customs. Agree a meeting point outside before you board in Beijing, because phones often take a while to reconnect.
Uber, Pathao, Obhai and Shohoz all pick up at the airport. Without Bangladeshi data, the prepaid taxi kiosk near the international exit is the simplest fallback, with the fare fixed before you set off.
Airport railway station sits opposite the terminal, and intercity trains for Chattogram and Sylhet call there. Buy the ticket in advance or at the counter, and consider a porter with heavy bags, since you must cross the main road.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
Air China's base at Capital is Terminal 3, so that is where to head unless your booking says otherwise. Check the terminal printed on your itinerary the day before, because Capital also has Terminal 2, and the Airport Express stops at each one separately.
The line has five stops: Beixinqiao, Dongzhimen and Sanyuanqiao in the city, then Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 at the airport. Pick whichever is nearest your hotel; the train runs on its own track, so road traffic on the way out does not affect it.
Yes. Airport railway station sits opposite the terminal, and intercity trains for Chattogram and Sylhet call there. You will need a ticket bought in advance or at the counter, and a porter is useful with heavy bags since you must cross the main road.
From Capital, no; Air China has the sector to itself. China Southern flies to Dhaka from Daxing, the city's southern airport, so that is the alternative to check if your dates are sold out. Allow for a different transfer across Beijing if you switch.
International arrivals use the ground floor of the shared Terminal 1 and 2 building, where you clear immigration, collect bags and pass customs. Agree a meeting point outside before you board in Beijing, because phones often take a while to reconnect after landing.
Booking
It can be. Daxing has its own express rail line, and it does not link to the Capital Airport Express, so you would have to cross the city by subway or road. Read the three-letter code on the ticket carefully. If it says PEK, plan your morning around reaching the northeast of Beijing.
General
The route listing shows 23 kg for the hold and 7 kg for the cabin. Families heading home with large cartons of gifts may find that tight, so weigh everything at the hotel and pre-book extra weight with the airline rather than paying at the counter.
The 737-8 is a single-aisle jet, the MAX version of the 737, and Air China's typically seats about 172. It is a narrowbody for a flight of over six hours, so an aisle seat makes it easier to stand up and stretch during the journey.
Set it back two hours. China keeps UTC+8 all year and Bangladesh UTC+6, and neither changes for summer. The southbound leg is the longer one, yet with two hours handed back you land not long after the time on the clock suggests, which helps if you are travelling on to a meeting.
Timing & weather
Uber, Pathao, Obhai and Shohoz all pick up at Shahjalal. If your phone has no Bangladeshi data yet, the prepaid taxi kiosk near the international exit is the simplest fallback, and the fare is fixed before you set off.
Visa & documents
Entry rules depend on your nationality, so Chinese and other foreign travellers should confirm Bangladesh's current visa requirements with a Bangladesh mission before flying. Returning Bangladeshi citizens only show a valid passport at immigration.
