Airfare to Beijing

Airfare from the United States to Beijing can range between $800 and $1700 depending on the season, starting point, and how far in advance the ticket is purchased. Beijing is a very well-served destination in terms of airline flights from the United States and students who book their tickets early should be able to find a relatively large set of options.

We designate a group flight day for admitted students a few months before the program start date and recommend that students arrive within a period of several hours. Students who arrive at the designated day will be met at the airport by one of our representatives and will have complimentary transfer from the airport to central Beijing.

Students can make travel arrangements to arrive on alternate dates or flights. Students who arrive on an alternate date will have to take a taxi to the student apartments.
