Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, while Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) is closer to the city center and focuses on domestic and regional flights as well as some low-cost operators. Pudong sits about 30–40 km east of downtown; the Maglev plus metro or airport express take roughly 40–60 minutes and can cost more than local transit fares, while taxis typically take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic. Hongqiao is around 10–15 km west of central districts, reachable by metro or taxi in 20–40 minutes with lower fares. PVG can be more convenient for international connections and offers extensive amenities, but it’s farther out; SHA is quicker for central arrivals and transfers to the rail hub, though it handles fewer long-haul options.
Jeju International Airport (CJU) serves as South Korea’s primary gateway to Jeju Island, functioning mainly as a busy domestic hub with a growing number of international seasonal routes. It typically handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to moderate depending on seasonality. The airport lies about 2–6 km from central Jeju City, with travel times of roughly 10–20 minutes by taxi (moderate cost) or 20–40 minutes by airport bus (low cost). Car rentals and ride-hailing are also common options. Pros: very convenient for island access and well-connected; cons: can be crowded during peak travel periods and limited late-night intercity services.
