Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports that play different roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers and often featuring higher fares for convenience; it lies about 30–45 km east of downtown and can be reached by the high-speed Maglev (around 8–20 minutes to Longyang Road) or by Metro Line 2 (about 45–60 minutes), taxis and airport shuttles typically taking 40–60 minutes depending on traffic — fares vary from modest metro fares to mid-range taxi costs. Pudong is modern and well-equipped for transfers but can be distant during peak traffic. Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a domestic and regional hub favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul flights; it’s much closer to the city center (roughly 10–15 km), accessible via Metro Line 2/10 in about 20–40 minutes and frequent taxis or airport buses in 30–50 minutes, often at lower fares than Pudong for short trips. Hongqiao is convenient for city access and quick connections but has fewer long-haul options. Both airports are well connected with ground transport, so choice often depends on itinerary and price sensitivity.
Haikou is served mainly by Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK), the island’s primary international and domestic gateway that typically handles larger carriers and seasonal international flights alongside Chinese full-service and low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 25–30 km southeast of downtown Haikou; road transfer by taxi or ride-hail commonly takes 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually in the moderate range, while the airport shuttle and public buses can take around 40–60 minutes for lower cost. Meilan offers convenient facilities for transfers and onward Hainan connections but can be busier during holidays; budget travelers may find fewer ultra-low-cost options and should allow extra time for check-in at peak periods.
