Novosibirsk is served primarily by Tolmachevo Airport (OVB), the region’s main international and domestic hub that typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. Located about 17–20 km west of the city center, Tolmachevo can usually be reached by Aeroexpress or regular buses and marshrutkas; travel times are often around 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally modest and public transport being the most economical option. The airport offers a range of services and connections but can be busy during peak periods, so expect some queues. For travelers prioritizing direct regional links and a wider route network, Tolmachevo is generally the convenient choice, while budget-conscious passengers should factor in transport time and seasonal demand.

Shanghai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carrier flights and typically commanding higher fares than regional alternatives. It sits about 30–40 km east of the city center; journey times range from roughly 35–60 minutes by maglev plus metro or 45–75 minutes by taxi, with fares varying by route and time of day. Pudong’s strengths are wide international connectivity and modern facilities, while longer transfer times and potential traffic can be drawbacks. Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a convenient domestic and regional gateway used largely by budget and business travelers, located much closer—about 13 km west of central Shanghai. Rail and metro links from Hongqiao can reach downtown in about 20–40 minutes, often at lower cost than Pudong transfers. Its compact layout and proximity to the high-speed rail hub are practical for short visits, though it serves fewer long-haul flights and may feel busier during peak domestic periods.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Novosibirsk to Shanghai is $173 (February 2026), while the maximum is $387 (October 2025). On average, a ticket costs $259–$272.
