Haikou is served mainly by Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK), the island’s principal international gateway with a mix of full-service carriers and regional budget airlines; Haikou Xiuying (military) is not typically used for commercial travel. Meilan handles most international and domestic flights to mainland China and Southeast Asia and can be perceived as mid-range to affordable depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 25 km east of downtown Haikou; taxis usually take 30–45 minutes and cost roughly CNY 60–100, while airport shuttle buses and occasional metro/express services offer longer rides for lower fares (around CNY 10–30). Pros: modern facilities and good route connectivity; cons: transfer times to city center can be significant during peak traffic and some international options may require a mainland connection.

Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s principal international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it is usually perceived as pricier for international routes. Located about 30–40 km east of downtown, PVG is reachable by maglev (approximately 8–10 minutes to Longyang Road, fares vary), metro Line 2 (about 45–60 minutes, low fares), express bus or taxi (45–60 minutes depending on traffic, moderate to higher fares). Pudong is modern and well-equipped for international transfers but can involve longer transfer times to the center. Hongqiao (SHA) primarily serves domestic and regional flights and many budget or short-haul services, sitting much closer to the city center (roughly 10–15 km west). Hongqiao is linked by metro Lines 2/10 with a typical trip of 20–40 minutes and by taxi or bus at lower fares; travel times are more predictable. Hongqiao is convenient for quick domestic connections but has fewer long-haul options compared with Pudong.
