Penza’s airport, Ternovka (Penza Airport), functions mainly as a regional gateway rather than a major international hub, handling domestic flights and occasional charter services. It typically serves smaller carriers and scheduled regional operators, so fares can be more budget-friendly compared with big-city airports, though choices may be limited. The airport lies roughly 20–25 km south of Penza city center; transfer options usually include taxis, private shuttles, and local buses with travel times of about 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Taxi fares are typically moderate while bus tickets are the cheapest option. Pros: quick check-in and less congestion; cons: fewer flight times and limited ground-transport frequency.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international and long-haul hub, handling most intercontinental carriers and full-service airlines; it’s located about 30–40 km east of the city center and is usually perceived as mid-to-upper in price for transfers and facilities. The Maglev + metro or airport express typically takes 45–60 minutes to central Pudong/People’s Square, with fares ranging from modest metro prices to higher express/airport shuttle fees. Hongqiao (SHA) operates as a domestic and regional hub favored by budget and business travelers for short-haul flights; it sits roughly 13 km west of downtown. Metro Line 2/10 or taxi usually reach central Shanghai in 20–35 minutes, with relatively low metro fares and usual taxi surcharges. Pros: PVG offers more international connections and modern long-haul amenities; Hongqiao is more convenient for downtown access and quick domestic transfers. Cons: PVG can involve longer travel times and higher transfer costs, while Hongqiao may be busier with fewer intercontinental options.
