Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Pudong (PVG) is the international hub handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights, often used by full-service carriers and major alliances; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season. Pudong sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, typically reached by maglev+metro in 35–60 minutes (fares around moderate public transit prices) or by taxi in 45–70 minutes with higher fares. Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a domestic and regional gateway favored by budget and full-service carriers on short-haul routes and can be cheaper for domestic trips. Hongqiao lies much closer, about 13 km west of downtown, accessible by metro or shuttle in 20–40 minutes at low cost, or by taxi in 25–45 minutes. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; Hongqiao is more convenient for downtown access and quicker transfers. Cons: Pudong’s distance can mean longer travel times and higher ground transport costs, while Hongqiao can be crowded during peak domestic periods and has fewer intercontinental options.

Nagoya is served mainly by Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) and the smaller Nagoya Airfield (Komaki, NKM). Centrair functions as the region’s international hub, handling major full-service carriers and many low-cost international routes; fares can be competitive on budget airlines but typically range wider on full-service carriers. It lies about 35 km south of central Nagoya, with the Meitetsu μ-SKY limited express reaching Nagoya Station in roughly 28 minutes (fares around ¥1,200–¥1,400) and airport buses taking ~40–60 minutes depending on traffic. Centrair’s strengths are modern facilities and direct international links, while the downside can be longer transit times to some city neighborhoods. Komaki (Nagoya Airfield) is closer to the city, approximately 15 km north of downtown, and usually serves domestic flights and some regional low-cost services; it can be a budget-friendly option for short-haul travel. Access includes buses and taxis to Nagoya Station in about 25–40 minutes (fares often in the ¥1,000–¥2,000 range), with fewer rail options than Centrair. Komaki’s advantage is proximity and quicker ground transfers, but it typically has more limited international connections and smaller terminal amenities compared with the larger Chubu Centrair hub.
