Shanghai is served by two main airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and SkyTeam/major carrier flights; it can be perceived as pricier for intercontinental routes. Pudong lies about 30–45 km east of the city center, with transit options including the Maglev plus Metro Line 2 (35–50 minutes), airport express buses (45–70 minutes) and taxis (40–60 minutes; fares vary considerably). Pros: extensive international connections and full-service facilities; cons: longer transfer times and occasional congestion. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) operates as a domestic/regional and some short-haul international airport, favored by low-cost and Chinese carriers for business and high-frequency routes. Hongqiao is just 10–15 km west of central districts, reachable by Metro Lines 2/10 (20–30 minutes), airport shuttle buses (25–40 minutes) and taxis (20–35 minutes; generally cheaper than Pudong). Pros: proximity to downtown and integrated rail connections; cons: fewer long-haul options and sometimes limited late-night services.

Fly nonstop from Shanghai to Sapporo for the quickest, most convenient way to reach Hokkaido’s snowy peaks and vibrant food scene—direct flights cut travel time and skip the hassle of layovers. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, choosing a direct service means more comfort and more time to enjoy your trip, making it worth considering when booking.

Sapporo is served mainly by New Chitose Airport (CTS), the principal international and domestic gateway to Hokkaido, and the smaller Okadama Airport (OKD) for short domestic hops. New Chitose functions as a full-service hub for carriers like ANA and JAL and also handles low-cost carriers on busy leisure routes; fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season. It sits about 40–50 km southeast of central Sapporo, with an airport train taking roughly 35–45 minutes to Sapporo Station (fare around ¥1,150–¥1,300) and highway buses taking 70–90 minutes depending on traffic. New Chitose offers wide passenger facilities and good connectivity but can be busy in peak winter and holiday periods. Okadama, much closer at about 7 km northeast, serves regional and commuter flights—reachable by local bus or short taxi ride in 20–30 minutes—convenient for quick domestic transfers though it has limited services and fewer carrier options.

In different months, ticket prices from Shanghai to Sapporo vary: minimum — $86 (January 2026), maximum — $192 (April 2026). Typically, the flight costs $130–$132.
