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 intercontinental flights and featuring major global carriers and full-service Chinese airlines; fares can be mid-to-high relative to domestic-only gateways. It lies about 30–40 km east of the city center, reachable by maglev or metro in roughly 35–60 minutes (fares typically in the equivalent of a few dollars to modest local rates) or by taxi in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities. Cons: greater distance and occasional long transfer times. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) operates as a domestic and regional hub, favored by budget and business travelers for short-haul routes and many domestic carriers; it’s much closer—around 10–15 km west of downtown. Ground links include metro and fast suburban trains taking about 20–30 minutes, taxis of 20–40 minutes, and relatively low local fares. Pros: convenience and quicker city access. Cons: fewer long-haul choices and can be crowded during peak domestic travel periods.
