Shanghai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international gateway and long-haul hub, hosting major carriers such as China Eastern, Air China and many global airlines; flights can be comparatively mid-to-high in price when flying intercontinental. It sits around 30–40 km east of downtown Shanghai, reachable by maglev plus metro in roughly 45–60 minutes (fares typically range from moderate to higher for the maglev plus metro), or by taxi in about 45–70 minutes depending on traffic. Benefits include extensive international connections and full-service facilities; drawbacks can be longer transfer times and heavier traffic at peak hours. Hongqiao (SHA) acts more as a domestic and regional airport, favored by budget and full-service Chinese carriers for short-haul routes. Located about 13 km west of the city center, it’s typically faster to reach—metro or taxi trips often take 20–40 minutes with lower fares—making it convenient for business travelers and quick connections. It can be more compact and easier to navigate, though it offers fewer long-haul options than Pudong. Choosing between them depends on your origin/destination, timing and preference for convenience versus international route availability.

Changchun is served mainly by Changchun Longjia International Airport (CGQ), which functions as the city’s international and regional gateway rather than a large global hub. It typically handles a mix of full-service Chinese carriers and low-cost domestic airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 32–40 km north of central Changchun; travel time by taxi or car is usually 40–60 minutes, while airport shuttle buses and intercity trains can take roughly the same or a bit longer for lower fares. Pros include straightforward domestic connections and reasonable transit comfort; cons are the longer transfer distance to downtown and sometimes limited late-night services.
