Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the main international hub for long-haul and full-service carriers, typically handling intercontinental flights and many SkyTeam member services; it sits about 30–40 km east of the city center and can take 45–60 minutes by metro (Line 2) or 45–60 minutes by airport express; fares usually range from modest metro fares to higher express or taxi fares. Hongqiao (SHA) is closer, roughly 13–15 km west of central Shanghai, and often caters to domestic and regional flights as well as some full-service and low-cost airlines; travel to central districts is commonly 20–30 minutes by metro (Line 10 or 2) or 30–45 minutes by taxi. Pudong can be pricier and more time-consuming to reach but offers broader international connections and larger passenger facilities; Hongqiao is generally more convenient for domestic travelers and quicker transfers, though terminal crowding during peak periods can be a downside.
Chita is served by Kadala Airport (HTA), the region’s main air gateway that typically handles domestic flights and some seasonal connections to nearby international hubs. The airport is usually used by Russian carriers such as Aeroflot, S7 and regional airlines offering mostly mid-range fares, with low-cost options less common. Kadala sits about 15–20 km north of Chita city center; travel by taxi generally takes 25–35 minutes depending on traffic, while local buses and marshrutkas can take 40–60 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: straightforward layout and frequent regional services. Cons: limited international options and modest passenger amenities compared with larger hubs.
