Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS) serves as Portugal’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, making it a common choice for both business and leisure travelers. Located about 7–8 km north of central Lisbon, transfer options usually include metro (around 25–30 minutes, modest fares), Aerobus shuttles (30–40 minutes, moderate fares) and taxis or rideshares (20–30 minutes, higher fares depending on traffic). The airport can be relatively compact and easy to navigate, though peak times may feel busy; it’s often perceived as reasonably priced for connections within Europe. Pros: central location and frequent public transport; cons: occasional congestion and limited late-night public links.

Shanghai is served by two main airports: Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) and Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA). Pudong is the city’s primary international hub, typically hosting long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many cargo flights; it is often perceived as pricier for international connections. Pudong lies about 30–45 km east of the city center — expect 30–60 minutes by maglev plus metro or 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with public-transport fares usually ranging from low to moderate. Pros: modern facilities, extensive intercontinental routes and good transit options; cons: distance from downtown and occasional congestion. Hongqiao functions more as a domestic and regional gateway, favored by budget and domestic airlines and some regional full-service carriers. It’s located much closer to central Shanghai (roughly 10–15 km west), so transfers can be quick — around 20–40 minutes by metro or 20–45 minutes by taxi, with lower fare ranges for urban transport. Pros: convenience for domestic travelers and proximity to the city’s rail hub; cons: fewer long-haul options and can feel busy during peak domestic periods.
