Saratov is served by two main airports with different roles. Saratov Gagarin Airport (GSV) functions as the primary international and regional gateway for the city, typically handling a mix of full-service and LCC carriers on scheduled routes; it lies about 15–20 km northeast of Saratov and can be reached by taxi or shuttle in roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally ranging from modest flat-rate shuttles to higher taxi fares. The older Saratov Central/Centralny site is rarely used for regular commercial services and can be more of a general aviation or reserve facility. Travelers to Gagarin usually find modern facilities and straightforward ground connections, though transfer times can be longer during peak hours; budget-conscious flyers may spot better fares on discount carriers, while those valuing convenience will appreciate the closer access to the city and typical taxi/shuttle options.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and many full-service carriers, while Hongqiao (SHA) focuses on domestic and regional flights and low-cost connections. Pudong lies about 30–40 km east of the city centre; the Maglev or airport express typically take 30–40 minutes (Maglev fares can be moderate, airport express slightly higher), taxis take around 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. Hongqiao is much closer—roughly 10–15 km west—typically 20–40 minutes by metro or taxi with lower short-trip fares. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connectivity and full-service facilities; cons: longer transfers and variable traffic. Hongqiao’s advantage is convenience for domestic connections and easy rail links, but it has fewer long-haul options.
