Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) acts as the international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and typically offering a broader choice of premium lounges and international connections; it sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, with travel times of roughly 45–60 minutes by taxi or 30–40 minutes on the express maglev plus metro (fares can range from moderate to higher depending on mode). Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) is closer, around 10–15 km west of central Shanghai, and is often used for domestic and regional flights by budget and full-service Chinese carriers; taxis take about 20–40 minutes, while metro links are frequent and inexpensive. PVG’s strengths are international connectivity and airport amenities, although transfers to downtown can be longer and costlier; SHA’s advantages include convenience and lower transfer costs but a more limited range of long-haul services.

Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is a major international hub serving long-haul carriers, full-service Asian airlines and many low-cost options on regional routes. Located on reclaimed land in Chek Lap Kok, it’s roughly 30–35 km from Central Hong Kong; the Airport Express typically takes about 24 minutes to Hong Kong Station with fares usually in the moderate range, while taxis take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and cost notably more. Ferry links and shuttle buses provide alternatives for Kowloon and the New Territories. The airport is known for efficient transfers, plentiful lounges and shopping, but it can be busy during peak periods and transfer distances within the complex may be long.

The cost of a one-way flight from Shanghai to Hong Kong ranges from $73 (May 2026) to $198 (December 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $103–$115.
