Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is the main international gateway for the French Riviera, serving a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season and carrier. Located about 7 km west of Nice city center, transfer options include tram Line 2 (roughly 25–30 minutes, low-cost), regular buses and airport shuttles (30–40 minutes), taxis (around 15–25 minutes depending on traffic) and private transfers, with fares varying by mode and time of day. The airport is convenient for beach and business travelers and typically offers good route choice; it can be busy in summer and slightly less compact than some smaller domestic airports, so allow extra time during peak periods.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international long-haul hub, handling most intercontinental airlines and full-service carriers; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season. It sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, reachable by Maglev plus metro (45–60 minutes, fares roughly ¥50–¥150) or by express bus and taxis (45–75 minutes, fares vary). Pros: extensive international connections, modern facilities; cons: longer transfer times to central districts. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) operates largely as a domestic and regional airport favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes. Located much closer—around 10–15 km west of downtown—Hongqiao links directly to the city via metro and suburban rail (15–25 minutes, low fares typically under ¥20), as well as shuttle buses and taxis (20–40 minutes). Pros: quick city access and frequent domestic schedules; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be busy during peak hours.
