The following airlines operate regular services between North Goa and Beijing. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Many Indians travel from Goa to Beijing for business, cultural experiences, and to explore historical sites. Beijing offers a stark contrast to Goa's beaches, with its rich history, imperial palaces, and modern skyscrapers. Expect a significant change in climate and culture.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Beijing is during the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). The weather is mild and pleasant during these months, avoiding the summer heat and winter cold. Consider visiting during the Chinese New Year for a vibrant cultural experience, but expect large crowds and higher prices.
