There are most likely no direct flights on the Shanghai — Riyadh route
Shanghai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and cargo flights operated by full-service carriers and SkyTeam partners; fares can be mid-to-high compared with regional alternatives. It lies about 30–40 km east of downtown; magnetic options include the Maglev plus high-speed metro (35–45 minutes, higher fares for the Maglev) or taxis and airport shuttles (45–60 minutes depending on traffic). Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions as the city’s domestic and regional airport, often used by budget and domestic full-service airlines; it’s much closer to the center (around 10–15 km). Hongqiao is reachable by metro, suburban rail and short taxi rides (20–30 minutes), typically cheaper and quicker for intranational trips. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern facilities, while Hongqiao provides convenience for domestic travel; cons: Pudong’s greater distance can add time and cost, and Hongqiao can be busy during peak domestic waves.
