Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often positioned as the premium gateway for intercontinental travel. It sits about 30–40 km east of the city center; travel times range from roughly 35–60 minutes by Maglev plus metro or express bus, with fares varying by service. Pudong is spacious and well-equipped but can mean longer transfers. Hongqiao (SHA) is closer—around 10–15 km west—typically catering to domestic and regional flights and many budget or business travelers; metro and taxi trips usually take 20–40 minutes with modest fares. Hongqiao’s compact layout can be more convenient for quick connections, though it handles fewer long-haul options compared with Pudong.

Chongqing is served by two main airports with different roles. Chongqing Jiangbei International (CKG) is the city’s primary international and domestic hub, typically handling most full-service carriers and many long-haul and regional flights; fares here can be mid-range to premium depending on route and season. It lies about 25–30 km north of downtown Chongqing, with express train and shuttle buses taking roughly 30–45 minutes (fares usually in the low single digits to around CNY 20–30) and taxis or ride-hailing often 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Chongqing’s smaller Wanzhou or regional airfields are used for domestic and budget links, usually cheaper but with fewer connections; ground travel times vary and amenities can be more basic. Pros: Jiangbei offers wide connectivity and modern facilities; cons: distance and occasional road congestion can add time and cost.
