Same airport, new International terminal. Largest airport terminal (and largest covered structure) in the world...14 million square feet, two miles long and half mile wide.

Hi SteveS - no, not in China - and yes, new terminal - a huge improvement in size and quality! On past trips we have encountered substantial delays getting through the airport at Beijing so this should help a great deal! Smile

My cousin was living in China for a few years so I have travelled extensively - love the place - very vibrant!

Anyone off to Beijing for the Olympics?

Cheers
Christine
