Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub for long-haul and intercontinental flights, typically handling most full-service carriers and cargo operations; it sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, with magnetic links via the airport express train (≈40–50 minutes) or taxi/ride-hailing (≈45–70 minutes, fares higher than inner-city trips). Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) is closer to downtown (roughly 10–15 km) and usually focuses on domestic and short-haul regional services, favored by budget and business travelers for shorter transfer times; it’s reachable by metro or taxi (≈20–40 minutes, lower fares). Pros: PVG offers broad international connectivity and modern facilities, while SHA is more convenient for central Shanghai access and quicker connections. Cons: PVG can mean longer ground transfers and potentially higher ground costs, whereas SHA may have fewer intercontinental flight options and more limited late-night connectivity.
Chisinau International Airport (KIV) is Moldova’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for full-service and low-cost carriers alike, including national carrier Air Moldova and several European budget airlines. Located about 12 km southeast of the city center, travel usually takes 15–30 minutes by taxi or private transfer and around 30–45 minutes by public bus; fares can range from a couple of euros on buses to modest taxi fares depending on traffic and time of day. The airport is generally compact and easy to navigate, offering basic shops and services, though peak periods can feel crowded and transfer choices are somewhat limited compared with larger regional hubs.
