Beijng International Airport is a very efficient airport. The Airport Express Train is certainly one component of the success.
Signs listing all the airlines operating from the airport are large and plentiful, making it easy to find your check-in counter.
The return ticketing machines are conveniently located.
On this Saturday mid afternoon, there were very few passengers using the Airport Express leaving the airport.
The Airport Express is a very nice service, even including the subway transfer, it took a little under an hour door to door from the InterContinental Hotel to the Airport. The cost for one passenger is 25-27 yuan, comparing to the taxi of at least one hour and around 120 yuan. It certainly is a good option to conside the next time you are traveling to Beijing.

For our return from the airport to the city, we actually took the airport bus, and will write about that experience in a separate post.
