Some values are estimated based on seasonality.

When to fly

Beijing's climate is characterized by strong seasonality: June is the hottest month with temperatures reaching 32.9°C, while July is the rainiest. If you prefer dry and clear weather, consider the winter months when precipitation is minimal, although temperatures can drop to -8.8°C.

Flight costs vary significantly depending on the season. The most budget-friendly month to fly is June, with tickets starting AED 422. Prices peak in the spring, particularly in May, when the minimum cost rises AED 1,221.

September is considered one of the most balanced times to visit the capital: the heat subsides to a comfortable 26.9°C, and ticket prices stabilize. We recommend avoiding trips in July due to the high probability of prolonged heavy rain and high humidity.
