Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and typically used by full-service carriers; it’s about 30–40 km east of the city center and reachable by maglev plus metro (around 40–60 minutes, fares roughly in the low to mid single-digit USD equivalent) or by taxi (about 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, higher cost). Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern facilities but can be busier and farther from downtown. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional gateway with many low-cost and regional carrier services; it sits much closer to central Shanghai (roughly 10–15 km) and is commonly accessed by metro, taxi or airport shuttle in 20–35 minutes for modest fares. Hongqiao is convenient for city access and quicker domestic transfers but has fewer long-haul options.
Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s main gateway, functioning primarily as a regional and domestic hub with some seasonal or limited international connections. It typically handles a mix of Russian carriers and low-cost operators, so fares can feel competitive for domestic routes while international trips may be pricier or less frequent. The airport lies about 25–30 km south of the city center; road transfers usually take around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic. Options include taxis, shared marshrutkas (minibuses) and private transfers, with taxi fares typically varying by operator. Pros: compact layout and straightforward procedures; cons: limited nonstop international choices and variable public-transport schedules.
