Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s principal international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and hosting legacy carriers alongside many foreign airlines; fares here can be mid-to-high depending on carrier and season. It sits about 30–45 km east of downtown Shanghai, with options including the high-speed Maglev-plus-metro combo (around 8–15 minutes on Maglev then 40–50 minutes total), direct metro Line 2 (about 60–75 minutes), and taxis or ride-hailing (roughly 45–70 minutes; fares vary). Pros: extensive international connections and full-service amenities; cons: longer transfer times to the core city and occasional congestion. Hongqiao International (SHA) operates more as a domestic and regional airport with a strong portfolio of budget and full-service Chinese carriers and many high-frequency routes to other Chinese cities. Located much closer—around 13 km west of the city center—it’s easily reachable by metro Line 2/10 (about 30–40 minutes), airport express and suburban rail services (20–30 minutes), or taxis (25–40 minutes; typically cheaper than Pudong rides). Pros: faster city access and convenient connections to Shanghai’s west side; cons: fewer intercontinental flights and sometimes crowded domestic terminals.
Amsterdam is served primarily by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), a major international hub handling long-haul and European network flights and hosting full-service carriers as well as many low-cost and leisure operators. Schiphol sits about 17 km southwest of the city center and is well connected by frequent trains (15–20 minutes to Centraal Station, fares typically in the low single-digit euros), express buses and taxis (25–40 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary). Its extensive amenities, lounges and connections make it convenient for transfers, though peak periods can mean crowds and longer security waits. For budget travelers, nearby smaller general aviation fields exist but offer limited scheduled services compared with Schiphol.
