Can anyone tell me if the Datong airport is open and if so, are there scheduled flights to Datong from Beijing?
If there is no airport, how long is the train ride from Beijing to Datong?

As the result that I searched shows, there no flights between Beijing and Datong.
But there are so many trains from Beijig to Datong for you choice.
Take K215, depart from Beijing West Station at 15:03, and will arrive at Datong at 20:33. The whole trip would take about five hours and a half.

Hope it can help:D

And if you want more comfort take a soft sleaper.............. and remind that this train is leaving from the northern train station

Bus trips between Beijing and Datong take 3 or 4 hours. The plan is for Beijing-bound large, deluxe buses to depart from a station in the south part of the city. Until then, the old long distance bus station is opposite the railway station, another the station is on Yantong Xi Lu near Xingjian Bei Lu.
