Cheap Flights from Shanghai to Tashkent — $235

Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling the bulk of long-haul and intercontinental flights and typically hosting full-service carriers as well as some international low-cost airlines; it sits about 30–40 km east of the city center and can take 40–60 minutes by taxi or 40–50 minutes by the Airport Maglev + metro combo, fares ranging from mid to higher depending on option. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions mainly as a domestic and regional gateway, favored by business travelers and domestic carriers for frequent connections; it’s much closer, around 10–15 km west of downtown, reachable in 20–30 minutes by taxi or 20–30 minutes via metro, usually at lower cost. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international services and modern long-haul amenities, while Hongqiao provides faster access to central Shanghai and convenience for domestic hops. Cons: Pudong can mean longer transfers and higher ground-transport costs; Hongqiao may be more limited for intercontinental routes.

Tashkent International Airport (TAS) serves as Uzbekistan’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, with airlines such as Uzbekistan Airways and several Middle Eastern and Central Asian operators. Fares to/from TAS can be midrange for the region, though budget options appear on popular routes. The airport sits about 12–15 km northeast of Tashkent city center; road transfers typically take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with taxi fares often falling into a modest local range and shared shuttle or private transfer options available. Public bus and occasional rail links can be cheaper but slower. Pros: relatively modern terminals and direct international connections; cons: peak-hour congestion and variable queue times for immigration and security.
