Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) is Cambodia’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and regional low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from the city center; taxis and ride-hailing apps are the most common options, usually taking 20–35 minutes and costing in the range of a few dollars to moderate local fares, while airport shuttles and private transfers can be arranged for a higher fee. Pros: relatively compact terminals and straightforward immigration make arrivals and departures convenient. Cons: facilities are basic compared with major hubs, and peak times can bring congestion at check-in and security.
Shanghai has two main airports serving different needs. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carrier flights; it’s typically used by major airlines and can be pricier on international routes. Located about 30–40 km east of the urban core, travel to downtown usually takes 45–60 minutes by maglev + metro or 45–75 minutes by taxi, with fares that can vary considerably depending on traffic and route. Pudong offers extensive lounge and retail options but can feel large and time-consuming to navigate, especially at peak hours. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) functions more as the city’s domestic and regional airport, often serving budget and full-service Chinese carriers on short-haul routes. It sits much closer to downtown—around 13 km west—so trips into central districts are commonly 20–30 minutes by metro or 20–40 minutes by taxi, generally at lower fares than arriving from the farther airport. Hongqiao is convenient for quick transfers and business travelers but has fewer long-haul amenities and less international connectivity compared with Pudong.
