Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the city’s international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some premium regional flights; it sits about 30–45 km east of downtown and can take roughly 45–75 minutes by Maglev/train or taxi depending on traffic, with public-transport fares typically ranging from low single digits to mid-double digits CNY. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a domestic and regional gateway favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes; it’s much closer to central Shanghai (around 13 km), usually 20–40 minutes by metro or taxi with modest fares. PVG offers broader international connections but can be further and busier, while SHA is more convenient for city access though it has fewer long-haul options.
Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s primary gateway, acting more as a regional/international point than a large global hub. It typically handles flights from Russian carriers like Aeroflot, S7 and Pobeda alongside some seasonal charter services, with fares often perceived as competitive for domestic routes. The airport is about 25–30 km northeast of Makhachkala’s centre; road transfer by taxi or shared minibus (marshrutka) can take roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually affordable and minibuses tending to be the cheapest option. Pros: relatively compact layout and direct services to major Russian cities. Cons: limited international connections and occasional crowding during peak travel periods.
