Nizhniy Novgorod is served by Strigino Airport (GOJ), the city’s main international and regional gateway that usually handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost operators. It typically offers connections across Russia and some seasonal European routes, with fares that can be competitive compared with Moscow departures. The airport sits about 20–30 km southwest of the city center; road transfer by taxi or rideshare can take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, while scheduled airport buses and minibuses reach central stops in roughly 45–60 minutes for modest fares. Pros: a compact terminal and direct regional links; cons: fewer long-haul options and occasional peak-time congestion.
Shanghai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as cargo traffic; it sits about 30–35 km east of central Shanghai and typically takes 45–75 minutes to reach by car depending on traffic. Transit options include the high-speed Maglev plus Metro Line 2 (around 30–40 minutes to Lujiazui/People’s Square) and airport shuttle buses; fares can range from modest metro tickets to higher-cost taxis and the premium Maglev. Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: farther from downtown and transfers can be time-consuming during peak hours. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) acts as a secondary airport focused on domestic and regional flights and a growing profile of regional low-cost and full-service carriers. Positioned roughly 13–16 km west of the city center near the Hongqiao transport hub, it’s usually 20–40 minutes by car depending on conditions. The airport is directly linked to Hongqiao Railway Station and Metro Lines 2 and 10, making transfers to downtown fast and affordable with short metro rides or shuttle options; taxi fares are generally lower than trips from Pudong. Pros: close to central Shanghai and excellent rail connections; cons: fewer long-haul international routes and can be busier for domestic peak times.
