Hanoi is primarily served by Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), the city’s main international and domestic gateway that typically handles full-service carriers and many regional low-cost airlines. Located about 25–30 km north of the city center, travel times can range from 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; options include airport shuttle buses and public buses (around 40–60 minutes, low fare), regular taxis and ride-hailing services (30–50 minutes, mid-range fares), and private transfers. Pros: a relatively modern terminal with good international connections and frequent flight choices. Cons: peak-hour road congestion can extend transfer times and budget travelers may prefer advance-booked shuttles to avoid surge fares.

Shanghai is served by two main airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the primary international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic; it’s typically used by airlines such as China Eastern, Air China, and many global carriers. Pudong lies about 30–45 km east of central Shanghai, with travel options including the high-speed Maglev (8 minutes to Longyang Road) plus metro lines (~40–60 minutes), airport express buses (~45–70 minutes) and taxis (~40–60 minutes, fares varying by route and time). Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: longer transfer times to the city and occasional congestion. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) operates as a domestic and regional airport focused on short-haul services and some business travel, commonly served by China Eastern and budget or regional carriers. Hongqiao is much closer to downtown — roughly 13 km west — and is well linked by metro (Line 2/10 ~20–30 minutes), intercity rail at Hongqiao Railway Station, buses, and short taxi rides (~20–40 minutes). Pros: convenience for domestic trips and fast rail/metro links; cons: fewer long-haul options and typically smaller international connectivity.
