Muscat International (MCT) is Oman’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s full-service hub, with Oman Air and several Gulf and global carriers operating frequent long- and short-haul flights. Fares can be mid-to-premium compared with regional low-cost options, though budget alternatives are sometimes available via nearby carriers. The airport sits roughly 35–45 minutes by car from Muscat city center (about 30–40 km depending on route); taxis and ride-hailing are common (fares usually range from modest to moderate), while airport buses and hotel shuttles provide cheaper if slower links. Pros: modern facilities, extensive international connections and comfortable lounges; cons: slightly longer transfer times to central Muscat than some smaller airports and occasional peak-hour traffic.
Fly nonstop from Muscat to Shanghai for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Oman and China — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting routes can occasionally be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and provides a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the premium.

Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s long-haul international hub, handling most intercontinental carriers and full-service airlines; fares from here can be comparatively higher but offer more long-haul frequency. It lies about 30–40 km east of the city center, with travel options including the Maglev + metro (35–60 minutes, fares typically in the moderate range), direct metro lines (about 50–70 minutes), taxis and ride-hailing (roughly 45–75 minutes depending on traffic). Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: greater distance and potentially higher transfer times. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) serves more domestic and regional flights and hosts several low-cost and full-service Chinese carriers; it’s much closer, around 13–15 km from central Shanghai. Hongqiao is well integrated into the urban transport network—metro and suburban rail can reach downtown in 20–30 minutes, while taxis typically take 25–45 minutes—fares are generally lower for short domestic journeys. Pros: convenience and shorter transfers; cons: fewer long-haul options and sometimes limited late-night connectivity.
