Sapporo is served mainly by New Chitose Airport (CTS), the region’s international gateway and largest airport, and Okadama Airport (OKD), a smaller domestic facility. New Chitose typically handles international long-haul and budget carriers alongside full-service Japanese airlines, while Okadama is used mainly for short domestic hops and regional flights. New Chitose sits about 45–50 km southeast of central Sapporo; travel options include the JR rapid train (35–45 minutes), airport limousine buses (50–75 minutes) and taxis (roughly the same time but considerably pricier). Okadama is much closer, around 8–10 km north of downtown, reachable by city bus or taxi in 20–30 minutes. New Chitose can be more convenient for international connections and shopping/amenities, though it may feel busier and involve longer transfers to the city; Okadama offers quick access for domestic travellers but has limited facilities and fewer flight choices.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international gateway and a major long-haul hub, typically hosting full-service carriers and many international alliances; fares here can be mid-to-high compared with regional alternatives. It lies about 30–40 km east of downtown Shanghai, with Maglev plus metro or airport express taking roughly 30–60 minutes (fares for transit modes can range from a few RMB to modest premiums for Maglev). Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional hub, popular with budget and full-service carriers on short-haul routes; it’s much closer to the city center (around 10–15 km) and reachable by metro, taxi or airport shuttle in 20–40 minutes at moderate cost. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and full-range services, while Hongqiao is convenient for quick city access; cons: Pudong can mean longer transfers and higher local transport expense, and Hongqiao has fewer long-haul options and can be busy during peak domestic travel.
