Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s long-haul hub for international and transcontinental services, typically handling most intercontinental carriers and higher-end full-service airlines; it sits about 30–45 km east of downtown and can take 40–60 minutes by Maglev + metro or 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares usually higher than inner-city journeys. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a domestic and regional gateway, preferred by many low-cost and domestic full-service airlines; it lies roughly 13 km west of the center and is often reachable in 20–35 minutes by metro or 20–40 minutes by taxi. Airport transfer costs vary by mode — expect modest metro fares and higher taxi or ride-hail fees — and travel times can widen during peak hours. Pros: PVG offers extensive international connections and modern long-haul facilities, while SHA is closer and more convenient for domestic transfers; cons: PVG’s greater distance can add transit time and cost, and SHA can be busy with regional traffic and fewer long-haul options.
Fukuoka Airport (FUK) serves as Kyushu’s primary international gateway and a busy domestic hub, often favored for its proximity to the city. It typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on short- and medium-haul routes, and prices can be competitive for domestic flights while international fares vary. The terminal sits about 5 km east of Hakata and Tenjin, with subway and bus links usually taking 10–15 minutes (subway fares roughly ¥260–¥300; buses similar). Taxis are quicker but costlier. Pros: extremely convenient for downtown access and frequent services; cons: compact facilities can feel crowded at peak times and options for long-haul connections are more limited than larger transcontinental hubs.
