This page explains how PKX Airport Guide is made: where the facts come from, what part of the work is automated, how the site is checked, and how to get an error fixed. We would rather describe the process plainly than claim more than we do.

Independence

We are not operated by or affiliated with Beijing Daxing International Airport, its operator, any airline, hotel or transport company. No page is written to order, and no organisation pays for coverage or for a recommendation.

Some pages carry advertising, and some outgoing links are commercial — we may earn a commission if you book a transfer or a hotel through them, at no extra cost to you. Those arrangements never decide what a page says. When two options differ, we say which is faster and which is cheaper, whichever of them pays us.

Where our facts come from

Fares, journey times, timetables and terminal layouts come from the airport and the transport operators that run the services — the airport’s own information, the rail and metro operators, airline schedules and published regulations. Where a figure changes with the season or the exchange rate, we prefer a range over false precision.

Rules that carry a real penalty — visa-free transit conditions, what security will confiscate, check-in deadlines — are taken from the authority that enforces them, and we name it on the page so you can check for yourself.

How pages are written and translated

We are open about this because it affects how you should read the site:

  • Drafting is assisted by automated tools, working from the sources above. Pages are then edited and the numbers reconciled against the rest of the site, so that a fare quoted on one page matches the same fare quoted on another.
  • Translations into our fifteen other languages are machine-generated. They are not read line by line by a native speaker. Instead, every translated page passes automated checks before it is published.
  • English is the source language. If a translated page and the English page disagree, the English page is the one we maintain, and the disagreement is a bug worth reporting.

What the automated checks look for

Machine translation fails in specific, repeatable ways, so we test for those failures rather than assume they did not happen. Before and after publication, pages are checked for translations that stop halfway, for text left in English on a page that claims to be translated, for markup that has broken apart, for foreign code or tracking that does not belong to us, and for translations whose English source has changed since they were made.

A page that fails these checks is taken down rather than left up. When a translation is too incomplete to be useful, that language version is withdrawn and the address returns “gone” — the English original stays. We would rather show you fifteen languages than sixteen with one of them broken.

Reviews and updates

Pages whose facts move — fares, timetables, opening hours, visa rules — are reviewed when we learn of a change and periodically otherwise. Stable material, such as how a terminal is laid out, is revisited less often. The date shown in our sitemap reflects the last real change to a page’s content, not the last time a script touched the database.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, out of date, or reads as though the translation slipped, please tell us through our contact page. Say which page and which language version, and we will fix it. Corrections to facts are made on the page itself; where an error was significant we say what changed.

Reports of a missing or incorrect image credit go to the same address — see photo credits. Copyright complaints have their own route, described in our notice and takedown policy.

Who is responsible

PKX Airport Guide is published independently, and editorial responsibility for the site rests with its editorial team. The terms of use set out the limits of what you can rely on here, and the about page explains what the guide covers.
