Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some higher-end regional airlines; it’s generally perceived as mid- to upper-range in fares compared with domestic options. Pudong lies about 30–45 km east of the city center, reachable by the Maglev-plus-metro or direct metro line (45–70 minutes, usually CNY 8–50 including transfers) and by taxi or ride-hails (45–70 minutes, fares typically higher). Pros: extensive international connections, modern facilities and lounges; cons: longer transfer times to central Shanghai. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) acts as the domestic and regional gateway, favored by low-cost and domestic full-service airlines for short-haul flights. Located roughly 10–15 km west of downtown, Hongqiao is very close to the city’s rail hub and metro network (15–30 minutes to central areas, fares often CNY 3–10), making it convenient and typically cheaper for internal links. Pros: quick access to central Shanghai and high-speed rail; cons: fewer intercontinental services and smaller international connectivity.
Fly nonstop from Shanghai to Doha for the quickest, most convenient way to reach Qatar’s vibrant capital—perfect for business trips or a relaxed start to your vacation. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, direct flights save hours, reduce hassle and keep your journey more comfortable, so you arrive ready to go.
Hamad International Airport (DOH) is Qatar’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for long-haul and regional travel, commonly serving premium carriers alongside national airline operations. It’s located about 15–20 km southeast of downtown Doha, with a typical road transfer taking roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing are common and can be moderately priced, while the Doha Metro’s Red Line provides a faster, budget-friendly link with journey times around 20–25 minutes. DOH generally offers a high level of passenger amenities and efficient connections, though peak hours can mean longer queues and additional walking between terminals. For budget-focused travellers, domestic flights are limited, so prices can be higher compared with regional low-cost airports.
