Busan’s main international gateway, Gimhae International Airport (PUS), typically handles most international and domestic flights for the city and serves as a regional hub for full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike. It sits about 20–25 km west of central Busan (Nampo-dong/Seomyeon), with airport buses taking roughly 40–60 minutes and costing around ₩7,000–₩10,000; the AREX/metro connections can be quicker depending on your origin and transfers. Taxis to downtown can be convenient but may be subject to traffic and higher fares. Pros: compact layout, decent international connectivity and frequent low-cost options; cons: can feel busy during peak times and requires a bit of travel to reach core downtown areas.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most intercontinental and long-haul flights and used by major carriers and global alliances; it can be perceived as mid-to-high range for fares on long routes. Located about 30–45 km east of the city center, travel options include the Airport Maglev (about 8 minutes to Longyang Road) plus metro line 2 (45–60 minutes) and taxis or express buses (45–75 minutes), with fares varying by mode and time of day. Pudong offers extensive amenities and international connections but can mean longer transit times to central districts. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a domestic and regional gateway, favored by budget and full-service carriers on short-haul routes and often seen as more convenient for domestic travelers. It sits much closer to central Shanghai — roughly 10–15 km west of downtown — and is directly connected via Hongqiao Railway Station and metro lines 2 and 10, making trip times to central areas around 20–40 minutes by public transport and shorter by taxi. Hongqiao can be faster and less complex for city access, though it handles fewer long-haul international services and may be busier during peak domestic travel periods.
