Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some premium regional flights; it’s typically perceived as mid-to-upper priced. Located about 30–40 km east of central Shanghai, transfer options include the maglev plus metro (35–50 minutes, fares roughly ¥10–¥50), express buses (45–75 minutes, variable fares), taxis or ride-shares (40–60 minutes, fares can be moderate to high). Pros: extensive international connections and modern terminals; cons: greater distance to downtown and potentially longer transfer times. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions mainly as a domestic and regional gateway, favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes. Situated much closer to the city center (around 10–15 km), it’s usually cheaper and faster to reach via metro Line 2/10 or taxi (20–40 minutes; metro fares typically low, taxis inexpensive to moderate). Pros: convenience and shorter transfers; cons: fewer long-haul options and busier domestic peak times.
