Shanghai is served mainly by two airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s usually chosen for intercontinental flights and can be perceived as pricier on average. Located about 30–40 km east of downtown, travel times to the city center are typically 40–60 minutes by high-speed maglev or airport express train (fares usually in a moderate range) and 45–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic and tolls. Pudong offers extensive amenities and international connections but can involve longer transfers and queues at peak times. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions mainly as a domestic and regional gateway, commonly used by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes. Situated much closer to the city—around 10–15 km west—Hongqiao is usually 20–40 minutes from central districts by metro or taxi, with lower fares for metro travel. It’s convenient for quick transfers and downtown access, though it has fewer long-haul options and sometimes less international service compared with Pudong.
Brussels Airport (BRU) is Belgium’s main international hub, handling long-haul and European connections for full-service carriers and many low-cost and regional airlines; it’s typically perceived as mid-range to premium depending on carrier and season. Located about 12 km northeast of the city center, travel options include train services to Brussels Central in roughly 20 minutes (fares can be modest to moderate), taxis taking 20–30 minutes with meter-based rates, and airport buses that usually take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: comprehensive services, many direct flights and frequent public-transport links. Cons: can be busy at peak times and airport fees may make some tickets pricier.
Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) functions mainly as a budget-oriented gateway for low-cost carriers serving European routes; fares are often perceived as lower than at the main airport, though savings can be offset by transfers. It sits about 46 km south of central Brussels, with shuttle buses taking roughly 45–75 minutes depending on traffic and costing a modest fee; local buses and regional trains are alternatives but can lengthen journey times. Pros: typically cheaper fares and efficient low-cost services. Cons: greater distance to downtown, fewer amenities, and occasional extra charges for transfers and luggage.
