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 as well as major Chinese airlines; it’s generally perceived as pricier but offers extensive global connections. Pudong sits about 30–45 km east of the city center; travelers typically use the high-speed Maglev (8–10 minutes to Longyang Road), metro Line 2 (about 45–60 minutes), or airport express buses and taxis (45–60 minutes, fares varying widely). Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional hub with many budget and full-service Chinese carriers; located roughly 13 km west of downtown, it’s reachable by metro Line 10/2 (20–40 minutes), buses, and short taxi rides. Pros: Pudong offers more international routes and facilities, while Hongqiao is more convenient for city access and domestic connections; cons: Pudong can mean longer transit times to the center, and Hongqiao has fewer long-haul options.
Hanoi is served mainly by Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), which functions as the city’s primary international and domestic gateway and typically handles full-service carriers as well as low-cost airlines. Located about 45–50 km north of the Old Quarter, transfers can take roughly 35–60 minutes by expressway depending on traffic; dedicated shuttle buses and airport buses are common (fares usually modest), while taxis or ride-hailing services offer door-to-door trips at higher cost. Noi Bai can be convenient for onward connections and typically provides a full range of passenger facilities, though congestion at peak times and occasional delays can affect comfort and speed of movement.
