Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Mexico City is served mainly by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s primary international hub handling most full-service carriers and many domestic flights, and by Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), a newer airport positioned to relieve congestion and attract low-cost and some domestic services. MEX sits about 5–10 km east of downtown — travel times to the Centro Histórico can be 20–40 minutes by metro, metrobus, taxi or ride-hail; fares range from very low (public transit) to moderate for private cars. NLU is roughly 40–50 km north and can take 45–90 minutes depending on traffic; transfers are usually by bus, shuttle or car. Pros: extensive international connections and many ground-transport options. Cons: MEX can be crowded and busy during peak hours; NLU is farther from the center and may require extra time and transfers.
Shanghai is served by two main airports. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and hosting full-service carriers alongside many global alliances; it’s located about 30–40 km east of the urban core, with travel times of roughly 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or 35–60 minutes on the maglev/train combination with fares typically in the moderate range. Pudong can be pricier to reach but offers extensive lounges and international connectivity. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) acts as the closer domestic and regional gateway, around 13 km west of downtown; it’s commonly used by budget and full-service carriers on short-haul routes. Hongqiao is often quicker and cheaper to reach—roughly 20–40 minutes by taxi or 20–30 minutes by metro with low to moderate fares—and links directly to Shanghai’s suburban rail hub. Pros: Pudong’s worldwide connections and facilities; Hongqiao’s convenience for domestic travel. Cons: Pudong’s distance and longer transfer times; Hongqiao’s smaller international options and occasional crowding during peak periods.
