Airports at each end
Leaving Beijing
Beijing is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), 25 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX, 45 km).
Arriving in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,500 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT, 81 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (regional) | BTR | 11 km (7 mi) | 7,500 ft | 70 ft |
| Lafayette Regional Airport (regional) | LFT | 81 km (50 mi) | 8,000 ft | 42 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,690 km (7,264 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
