hi there! i''m planning to take a coach bus from Shijiazhuang to Beijing airport to catch a flight.How much would it cost me to take one and how long would it take?I have 2 baggage and i want to know if it''s free or should i pay for it? Thanks and have a good day!
Dear Sir or Madam, I didn't find a coach from Shijiazhuang to Beijing airport. I suggest you take a train from Shijiazhuang to Beijing west railway station. It takes about 3-3.5 hours and costs about US$21 per person. Then take a taxi to Beijing airport. It takes about 1 hour and costs about US$US$16 per car. Lussie Lu Replied on 2013-01-11
