Pros include a compact layout and modernized facilities for international connections; cons can be limited late-night public transport and variable queue times during peak seasons.

Shanghai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carrier flights—expect carriers like China Eastern, Air China, and many global airlines—while Hongqiao (SHA) typically focuses on domestic and regional routes and budget or business travelers. Pudong sits about 30–45 km east of downtown (travel time 45–60+ minutes by maglev/train or 60–90+ minutes by car depending on traffic; fares for rail are modest while taxis can be mid-range), whereas Hongqiao is roughly 13 km west (20–40 minutes by metro or taxi; fares often lower). Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; Hongqiao is closer and convenient for quick domestic transfers. Cons: PVG can mean longer transfers into the city and heavier security queues; SHA may be busier during peak domestic hours and has fewer long-haul options.
