Kadala Airport (HTA) serves Chita as the region’s primary gateway, functioning more as a regional/international hub for eastern Siberia than a major global transfer point. Flights are typically operated by Russian carriers and a mix of domestic and occasional international services, with fares often seen as mid-range for the region. The airport sits about 15–20 km northwest of Chita city center; road transfer by taxi or private car usually takes 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, while shared shuttles and occasional bus services can be cheaper but slower. Pros: compact layout and generally straightforward procedures; cons: limited amenities compared with large international hubs and variable public-transport frequency.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and many full-service carriers; it’s located about 30–40 km east of downtown and reachable by maglev (about 8 minutes to Longyang Road plus metro connections), metro (Line 2, ~45–60 minutes), taxi or airport shuttle—typical fares and times can vary with traffic. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) sits much closer to the city center (roughly 13–20 km west) and usually functions as a domestic and regional gateway favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes; it’s linked by metro (Lines 2 and 10, ~30–40 minutes), suburban trains and taxis. PVG can be more convenient for international connections but tends to require longer transfers, while Hongqiao offers quicker access to central districts; costs differ accordingly, with metro and bus options generally cheapest and taxis or maglev add speed for higher fares.
