Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carrier flights and typically commanding higher fares than budget alternatives. It sits about 30–45 km east of the city centre; fast maglev or metro rides take roughly 30–45 minutes while taxis and rideshares can be 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying accordingly. Pudong’s strengths are modern terminals and extensive international connections, while longer transfers and higher costs can be drawbacks. Hongqiao (SHA) operates more as a domestic and regional gateway favored by low-cost and domestic full-service airlines; it’s only 10–15 km west of central Shanghai, reachable by metro or taxi in about 20–40 minutes. Hongqiao can be more convenient for short-haul or business trips, though it offers fewer long-haul options than Pudong. Both airports are well linked by public transport and provide a range of amenities, so choice often balances price, schedule and proximity.
