Shanghai is served by two major airports that play different roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, hosting most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many premium lounges; it lies about 30–45 km east of downtown and can be reached by maglev (35–45 minutes), metro Line 2 (45–60 minutes) or taxi (40–60 minutes, fares typically higher than local options). Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) operates as a domestic and regional gateway favored by budget and business travelers for short-haul routes; it’s just 10–15 km from the center with quick metro (Line 2/10), airport shuttle and short taxi rides (20–35 minutes). PVG can feel more spacious but involves longer transfers to central Shanghai, while SHA offers greater convenience for intra-China connections but fewer long-haul services.
Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) is the city’s main international gateway and typically serves both full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, handling most intercontinental and domestic connections. Located about 18 km (11 miles) south of Izmir’s city center, it can be reached by Havaş shuttle buses or municipal buses in roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; taxis or rideshares usually take 25–40 minutes with fares varying by route and time of day. Rail access via the IZBAN suburban train links the airport to central Izmir in about 30–35 minutes at modest fares. Pros: a modern passenger terminal with decent shopping and frequent flight options; cons: transfer times can lengthen at peak hours and some budget carriers operate from shared gates, which may mean longer walks.
