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 premium carriers and typically offering a wider range of full-service amenities; it sits about 30–40 km east of downtown and can be reached by the Maglev (around 8 minutes to Longyang Road then 20–30 minutes metro onward), direct airport express or taxis taking roughly 45–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares generally higher than local transit. Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional gateway favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes; it’s much closer to central Shanghai (roughly 10–15 km), reachable by metro in 20–30 minutes or by taxi in 20–40 minutes, usually at lower cost. Pros: Pudong for international connectivity and full-service facilities; Hongqiao for convenience and shorter transfers. Cons: PVG can mean longer transfers and higher fares, while SHA has fewer long-haul options.
