Shanghai is served mainly by two major airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the primary international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it typically feels modern and busy and can be pricier to reach from the city center. Pudong sits about 30–40 km east of central Shanghai; travel options include the high-speed Maglev plus metro Line 2 (around 35–50 minutes, fares roughly CNY 9–50 depending on service) and taxis (40–60 minutes, higher fares). Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional hub used heavily by budget and legacy Chinese airlines; it’s much closer—around 13 km west of downtown—reachable by metro Line 10 or Line 2 in 20–30 minutes for low fares (CNY 3–7) and short taxi rides. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; Hongqiao is convenient for short-haul travel and quicker city access. Cons: Pudong can require longer transit times and higher transfer costs, while Hongqiao is smaller and can be crowded during peak domestic travel periods.

Izhevsk’s Ustinov Airport (IJK) serves as the region’s primary domestic gateway rather than an international hub, typically handling flights within Russia and to nearby CIS destinations. Carriers operating here are usually a mix of national and regional airlines, with fares often perceived as moderate compared with larger Russian airports. The airport lies about 15–20 km southwest of the city center; taxi rides commonly take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly the equivalent of a modest local fare, while shared shuttles or airport buses may be cheaper but slower. Pros: compact terminals and short walking distances; cons: limited international connections and fewer on-site amenities compared with major hubs.

The cost of a one-way flight from Shanghai to Izhevsk ranges from $412 (July 2026) to $538 (October 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $482–$512.
