Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, hosting long-haul and many full-service carriers as well as some premium lounges; it’s about 30–35 km from downtown and reachable by Maglev plus metro (45–60 minutes, fares roughly ¥8–¥50 depending on service) or by taxi (around 45–70 minutes, with fares varying by time of day). Hongqiao (SHA) operates as a mixed but more domestic- and regional-focused airport, often used by budget and legacy carriers on short-haul routes; it sits much closer (about 13 km) and is linked to the city by metro and suburban rail (20–40 minutes, low single-digit to low double-digit yuan fares) or short taxi rides. Pros: Pudong is convenient for international connections and modern facilities; Hongqiao is quicker for city access and transfers to rail. Cons: Pudong can be farther and pricier to reach during peak traffic, while Hongqiao can feel crowded during peak domestic periods.
Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is Baku’s main international gateway and the country’s primary hub for full-service carrier Azerbaijan Airlines alongside many regional and European carriers. It’s located about 25–30 minutes (25–30 km) from Baku’s city center by road; taxi or ride-hailing is most common and can take roughly 20–40 AZN depending on traffic, while airport shuttles and private transfers can be cheaper or more predictable. The terminal is modern and typically geared toward international and transit passengers, so facilities and lounges are usually comfortable but queues can form at peak times. Overall it’s convenient for long-haul and connecting flights, though fares may be higher than low-cost alternatives serving other regional airports.
