Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) operates as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and commonly used by full-service carriers; fares from PVG can feel mid-to-premium depending on carrier and demand. It sits about 30–40 km east of the city center; travel options include the Maglev plus metro (35–60 minutes, moderate fares), long-distance metro lines (45–60 minutes, low fares), taxis or ride-hailing (40–60 minutes, higher cost). PVG is strong on connectivity and facilities but can involve longer transfer times to central Shanghai. Hongqiao (SHA) functions mainly as a domestic and regional airport favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes, with many domestic carriers and some low-cost operators. Located much closer to downtown—roughly 10–15 km west—Hongqiao is served by metro, regional trains and quick taxi rides (15–30 minutes, modest fares), making it more convenient for short trips. It’s typically easier and quicker to reach central districts from Hongqiao, though it handles fewer international options and may be busier during peak domestic periods.
Taipei is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Taiwan Taoyuan International (TPE) is the main international hub located about 40–50 km west of downtown; it typically handles long-haul and many full-service carriers while budget airlines also operate there. Transit to the city center is commonly by Taoyuan Airport MRT (35–50 minutes), express bus (50–70 minutes) or taxi (approx. 40–60 minutes), with fares varying by mode and time of day. Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) sits much closer, roughly 5–6 km from central districts and generally handles regional, domestic and some short-haul international flights mostly flown by full-service and low-cost carriers. Songshan is often perceived as more convenient for business travelers thanks to shorter transfer times by metro or taxi (10–20 minutes), though it has fewer long-haul options and typically higher per-seat fares on the limited routes. Pros: Taoyuan offers extensive route choice and passenger services; Songshan gives quick access to the city. Cons: Taoyuan can mean longer transfers; Songshan has a smaller route network.
