Dushanbe’s main gateway, Dushanbe International Airport (DYU), functions as Tajikistan’s primary international hub and handles most scheduled flights to and from Central Asia, Russia and selected Middle Eastern and European destinations. Carriers are typically a mix of national and regional airlines, with occasional low-cost or charter services; fares can be competitive on regional routes but often higher for long-haul connections. The airport lies roughly 5–10 km east of the city center; taxis take about 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost a modest local fare, while private transfers and occasional shuttle buses are also available. Pros: relatively compact and straightforward to navigate; cons: limited amenities compared with larger international hubs and possible seasonal congestion during peak travel periods.

Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s main international gateway and long-haul hub, typically handling flag carriers and many full-service international airlines; it sits about 30–45 km east of the city center and is reachable by maglev + metro or airport express in roughly 45–75 minutes, with fares usually ranging from moderate to higher depending on mode. Hongqiao (SHA) operates more as a domestic and regional business airport, favored by budget and domestic carriers and located just 13 km west of downtown — a taxi or metro ride commonly takes 30–50 minutes with lower fares. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; Hongqiao is convenient for city access and transfers to high-speed rail. Cons: PVG can feel distant and busy, while SHA may have fewer long-haul options.
