Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s major international hub, typically handling long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some premium regional routes; it’s often perceived as mid-to-higher range for fares compared with nearby options. Pudong sits about 30–40 km east of central Shanghai, reachable by Maglev plus metro in roughly 45–60 minutes (Maglev fare around ¥50–¥60, metro ¥3–¥10) or by taxi in about 45–70 minutes depending on traffic. Hongqiao (SHA) is a closer, more domestic- and regional-focused airport, generally serving budget and connecting business travelers; it’s only about 10–15 km from downtown, with metro and taxi rides typically taking 20–40 minutes (metro fares around ¥3–¥6). Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connectivity and modern long-haul facilities; Hongqiao is more convenient for downtown access and quick domestic transfers. Cons: Pudong can mean longer transit times and higher local transfer costs, while Hongqiao may be busier with fewer long-haul options.
Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) is a major international hub known for full-service carriers and extensive long-haul connectivity, while budget carriers also operate significant regional routes. Located about 20–25 km from downtown Marina Bay, travel to the city center typically takes 20–30 minutes by Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) from Changi Station, 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or around 30–45 minutes by bus; fares range from modest MRT charges to taxi metered rates and low-cost bus tickets. Pros: exceptionally comfortable terminals, wide amenities, consistent transfer options and reliable international connections. Cons: can be farther from some central neighborhoods and peak-hour road traffic may lengthen taxi journeys.
