Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international and long-haul hub, handling most intercontinental carriers and full-service airlines; it sits about 30–45 km east of central Pudong and can take roughly 45–75 minutes by maglev or express metro (fares vary by service) or about an hour by taxi depending on traffic. Hongqiao (SHA) is closer to downtown—around 10–15 km west—and typically caters to domestic and regional flights as well as some low-cost carriers; travel into the center can be as quick as 20–40 minutes by metro or 20–50 minutes by taxi. Pudong can be pricier and more time-consuming to reach but offers greater international connectivity and modern terminal services; Hongqiao is convenient for business travelers and quick domestic hops, though it can feel busy during peak periods.
Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s main international hub that handles a mix of legacy carriers (Aeroméxico, international network partners) and low-cost airlines on domestic and regional routes. Flights to MEX are often viewed as mid‑range in price compared with other North American gateways. The airport sits about 8–12 km (roughly 20–40 minutes) from downtown depending on traffic; options include the metro Line 5 and Line 1 connections plus taxis and ride‑hailing services (metro fares are minimal, rideshares and airport taxis have a wider range). Pros: extensive connections and many passenger amenities. Cons: can be crowded and subject to heavy traffic to/from the city center.
