Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) serves as Azerbaijan’s primary international gateway and a regional hub, handling most long-haul and transit traffic. It typically hosts national carrier Azerbaijan Airlines alongside a mix of full-service Middle Eastern and European carriers, with some low-cost services on regional routes. The airport sits about 25–30 km southeast of Baku city center; road transfer usually takes 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis and airport shuttles being common options and fares varying by vehicle type. Pros: modern terminal facilities and good connection options for international travel. Cons: distance from downtown can add time and cost compared with smaller regional fields.

Fly direct from Baku to Shanghai for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Azerbaijan and China — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and a smoother start to your trip. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a non-stop flight saves valuable time and offers a more comfortable journey so you arrive ready to explore or do business.

Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and hosting full-service carriers as well as some international alliances; it’s often seen as the pricier option for long-distance routes. Pudong sits about 30–40 km east of downtown; metro and maglev services take roughly 40–60 minutes (fares vary, maglev premium), while airport express buses and taxis can take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic. Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional airport with many low-cost and domestic full-service flights; it’s much closer to the city center, around 10–15 km, with metro or taxi trips of 20–40 minutes and lower transfer costs. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; Hongqiao is more convenient for short-haul travelers and city access. Cons: Pudong’s distance can add time and cost, while Hongqiao can be busier during peak domestic periods.
