Terminal 3 is a joy to travel through. Ultra ultra clean (even the loos are amazingly good) and the immigration staff are politre and friendly. T2 is desperately showing its age, however, and isn't a patch on its newer brother, albeit that it isn't that bad when compared with many other airports. T1 has been modernised, but is only used for a few internal flights. The Airport Express, however, closes before midnight which is pretty useless for an airport that has so many flights arriving in the early hours. And the taxi drivers are adept at ripping off passengers and cheating them as much as they can. No taxi drivers speak any english and a favourite trick of theirs is to pretend the taxi meter isn't working and then to charge through the nose. A typical fare from airport to downtown should be in the order of 80-100 yuan!
XiJiao is a Chinese military/governmental airport strategically positioned on the edge of the fourth ring road in downtown Beijing. It has few or no fighter aircraft, although a couple helicopters. Mainly you see 737's and occasionally a CRJ 200 or Gulfstream. Only time you see Airbuses here is when CUA airlines (Which is the only airline operating from NanYuan Airport) stop by occasionally. My guess is that they are contracting to transport officials or the likes. Plane spotting opportunities by the far south west corner of the runway in a small park, or at the two ends of the runway. Traffic usually is on workday mornings.
