Linyi Yancheng (LYI) primarily serves as a regional airport linking Shandong’s Linyi to major Chinese hubs rather than functioning as a large international gateway. Flights are typically operated by domestic carriers and low-cost regional airlines, so fares can often be more economical compared with bigger provincial airports. The airport sits roughly 25–35 km from Linyi city center; road transfer by taxi or airport shuttle usually takes about 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with shuttle fares typically modest and taxi rides costing more. Pros: convenient for direct regional connections and generally quicker check-ins; cons: limited long-haul options and fewer on-site amenities compared with larger airports.
Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and hosting full-service carriers alongside many international alliances; it's about 30–40 km east of downtown Pudong, typically a 40–60 minute car or taxi ride depending on traffic, with airport express train and maglev options taking roughly 8–45 minutes and fares varying by service. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) is nearer the city center, acting more as a domestic and regional gateway favored by budget and full-service Chinese carriers; it’s around 10–15 km from central districts, usually a 20–40 minute taxi or metro trip with modest fares. Pudong offers broader international connectivity but can be farther and busier, while Hongqiao is more convenient for short domestic hops and transfers to high-speed rail; both can be crowded at peak times, so travelers often weigh convenience against flight availability and price.
