Relax

Beijing Capital Airport has many lounge options, some of which are airline-specific and some of which are open to everyone. When you visit and airport lounge, you can enjoy comfortable seating away from the busyness for the airport terminal along with complimentary snacks, wi-fi and more.Sanctifly has three partner lounges at PEK. Use a Sanctifly pass to access the CIP Lounge in Terminal 1 (open daily from 06:30 – 22:30), the Airport Easy Lounge in Terminal 2 (open daily from 06:30 – 23:00) or the Business Travelers Lounge in Terminal 3 (open daily for 24 hours).

Walk The Terminals

Things to see in PEKGet in a little exercise and enjoy all PEK has to offer by walking the terminals before your flight. Visit the ‘Underwater World’ in Terminal 2, where you can interact with the projection display and enjoy a virtual aquarium experience. Continue to the 2nd floor of Terminal 3, where you will find the water droplets sculpture and light display, a peaceful and calming green oasis in the middle of the terminal. Finally, staying in Terminal 3, head for the International Departure Hall and enjoy the traditional Chinese gardens.

Stretch At The Gate

If you don’t have much time at the airport before your flight but still want to do something good for your body and mind, take the time to stretch and do some yoga. You don’t even have to venture far from your gate, find a little space and stretch and move your muscles before getting on your flight. Movement and exercise can help with circulation and make it much easier to relax and even sleep on the plane. There are lots of video tutorials you can follow in the Sanctifly app and none of them require equipment or very much space. You can find them over on the ‘Videos’ tab. Take ten minutes to move your body before catching your flight. You won’t regret it!
