With the Labour-Day long weekend days away, Beijing Capital and Daxing airports expect outbound and inbound flows to rise more than 10 percent above April daily averages. Beijing Border Inspection released detailed peak-hour projections on 27 April: Capital Airport Terminal 3 could see outbound spikes between 11:00–12:30 and 23:00–01:00, while Daxing anticipates its heaviest traffic 07:00–09:00 outbound and 06:00–08:00 inbound. To absorb the surge, border police will put every inspection booth into service during identified peaks, open dedicated “early-bird” lanes 30 minutes ahead of schedule and keep e-channels running around the clock. Officers equipped with mobile passport readers will rove queue lines to pre-scan documents, shaving an estimated 20 seconds off each inspection. The airports are also highlighting the availability of online foreign-arrival-card submission, launched city-wide earlier this month. Travellers holding the 240-hour visa-free transit or temporary entry permits can now complete all paperwork before landing, proceed directly to inspection and, if eligible, exit via fast-track lanes.

If you still need a full visa rather than transit permission, VisaHQ can simplify the process before you fly—its one-stop portal (https://www.visahq.com/china/) lets you apply online, upload documents and track status in real time, so you spend less time on paperwork and more time enjoying your holiday.
Beijing Border Inspection recommends passengers bound for international flights arrive three hours early and consult the National Immigration Administration’s 12367 hotline for last-minute policy questions. The forecast service—-updated daily on official WeChat accounts—-is part of a broader move toward data transparency aimed at both easing congestion and improving the traveller experience.
