	Passenger Opinions about Beijing Capital Airport
		I arrived at, and departed from Beijing (international terminal) begin of May. Immigration and security were very quick and friendly, the gates were not far away large windows allowing for good plane spotting.
		The whole airport seems so 'lifeless', and the worst of all is that the immigrations only opened 2 counters for clearance when there's more than 25 of us queuing up.
		I enjoy using the international terminal since check, immigration and security are generally extremely quick, the staff generally friendly and none of the gates are far away.
