Shanghai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it tends to be pricier on average but offers extensive global connections. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) focuses on domestic and regional flights, commonly used by budget and business travelers for its convenience. Pudong sits about 30–45 km east of downtown — expect 45–60 minutes by maglev/train or 45–90 minutes by car depending on traffic, with transit fares usually ranging from moderate to higher; taxis can be significantly more. Hongqiao is much closer, around 10–15 km west of the city center — roughly 20–35 minutes by metro or 20–45 minutes by taxi, with lower public-transport fares. Pros: Pudong’s international choice and modern long-haul facilities; Hongqiao’s proximity and easy rail links. Cons: Pudong’s distance and longer transfer times; Hongqiao’s smaller international network and potential crowding on domestic routes.
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) serves as a cost-conscious alternative within the UAE, often handling many low-cost and regional carriers alongside a mix of charter services. Located about 15–20 km east of Sharjah city centre and roughly 25–30 km from Dubai, it can be a budget-friendly gateway for travelers willing to trade a bit of extra transfer time. Ground links include taxis (about 20–35 minutes to Sharjah city, fares typically moderate), airport buses and shared shuttles, with Dubai transfers taking longer and costing more. Pros: often cheaper fares and less congestion than major hubs; cons: fewer long-haul options and longer transfers if your final stop is central Dubai.
