Barnaul’s Gherman Titov International Airport (BAX) functions as the main gateway for Altai Krai and typically handles a mix of domestic flights with some seasonal international services. It’s commonly used by Russian carriers and regional airlines, so fares can be relatively affordable compared with larger hubs. The airport is about 20–25 km northwest of the city center; taxis take roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and usually cost in the low tens of euros or equivalent, while shared shuttles and occasional bus lines offer slower but cheaper connections. Pros include a compact layout that’s easy to navigate and straightforward regional connections; cons are limited late-night services and fewer long-haul options compared to major metropolitan airports.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the primary long‑haul and international gateway, typically hosting full‑service carriers and many global alliances; it’s often perceived as mid‑to‑high in price compared with regional alternatives. Located about 30–50 km east of downtown, transfers by Maglev + metro usually take 40–60 minutes (fares roughly CNY 50–100 total), while taxis can take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic for higher fares. Pudong’s strengths are modern international facilities and plentiful onward connections; downsides can include longer surface travel times and higher taxi costs. Hongqiao (SHA) functions as Shanghai’s domestic and regional hub, favored by many budget and full‑service Chinese airlines and short‑haul international flights. Only about 10–15 km west of the city center, it’s typically quicker and cheaper to reach — metro or shuttle takes roughly 20–35 minutes (low fares around CNY 3–10), and taxis are brisk but can be subject to rush‑hour delays. Hongqiao’s advantages are proximity and convenience for domestic transfers; it can be more crowded during peak periods and offers fewer long‑haul options than Pudong.
