Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and serving major global carriers alongside Chinese flag airlines; fares from PVG can be mid-to-high depending on route and season. It sits about 30–40 km east of downtown, with the Maglev plus metro taking roughly 40–60 minutes (maglev + Metro fare and metro tickets are modest), long-distance buses and taxis also available (taxi rides typically take 45–70 minutes, fares varying by traffic). Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: distance from the city center and potentially longer transfer times. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) operates more as a domestic and regional airport and is often used for short-haul flights by budget and full-service Chinese carriers; it’s just 13–16 km west of central Shanghai, reachable by metro in about 20–30 minutes or taxi in 25–45 minutes for generally lower short transfers. Pros: convenience and quicker city access; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be busy during peak domestic travel periods.

Kagoshima is mainly served by Kagoshima Airport (KOJ), a regional gateway that typically handles domestic flights and a handful of international routes to nearby Asian cities. The airport often attracts full-service Japanese carriers alongside low-cost domestic operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on carrier and season. Located roughly 30–40 minutes’ drive (about 40–50 km) from central Kagoshima, transfer options include airport buses to the city center (around ¥1,300–¥1,800, 40–50 minutes), taxis (considerably faster but pricier), and rental cars. Pros: compact terminal and frequent domestic connections. Cons: longer distance to downtown than some regional airports and limited late-night international options.
