Shanghai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s major international hub, handling most long-haul and many full-service carriers, so fares here can be mid-to-high relative to regional budget options. It sits about 30–40 km east of downtown; maglev + metro or airport express + subway typically take 30–60 minutes and cost roughly CNY 8–50 depending on route, while taxis to the city center can take 45–90 minutes and run higher. Hongqiao International (SHA) functions as a domestic and regional gateway with many domestic and low-cost flights, located much closer at about 13 km west of the core; metro or taxi rides usually take 20–40 minutes and are cheaper. Pros: PVG offers broad international connectivity and modern facilities; cons: longer transfer times and higher transfer costs. Hongqiao’s advantage is convenience for short-haul travel and fast transfers to central business districts, though it has fewer long-haul options.

Atyrau Airport (GUW) serves as the main international gateway to western Kazakhstan and typically functions as a regional hub rather than a large long‑haul airport. You’ll commonly find national carriers and a mix of regional airlines operating flights to Almaty, Astana (Nur‑Sultan) and nearby Russian destinations; fares can be competitive compared with big international hubs but vary by season. The airport lies about 8–12 km north of Atyrau city centre, with taxi rides usually taking 10–25 minutes and costing a modest amount in local currency; some hotels arrange transfers and occasional shared shuttles may be available. Pros: compact terminal, quick processing on off‑peak days and straightforward connections for regional travel. Cons: limited dining and shopping options and fewer direct long‑haul services, which can mean extra transfers for international itineraries.
