Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers while offering a wide range of amenities and transfer options. It lies about 30–40 km east of downtown; the Maglev plus metro or express trains usually take 45–60 minutes, and taxis or ride-hailing can be 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often higher than inner-city trips. Pudong’s strengths are connectivity and lounges, while downsides can be longer transfer times and higher costs compared with the nearer airport.
Hongqiao (SHA) functions as Shanghai’s nearer airport and is commonly used for domestic and short-haul regional flights, often by budget and full-service Chinese carriers. Located roughly 13–20 km west of the city center, Hongqiao connects directly to central Shanghai via metro lines and a short taxi ride, typically 20–40 minutes; fares and travel times are usually lower than to Pudong. Its convenience for quick city access and strong rail links is a plus, though international flight options are more limited and facilities can be busier during peak domestic periods.
Tbilisi International (TBS) is Georgia’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional flights, with full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines operating regularly. The airport sits about 17 km southeast of the city center; taxis can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, while shared minibuses and public buses take 30–50 minutes — fares generally range from very low for buses to modest for taxis. Sabiha-like shuttle services and airport transfers may be available through hotels. Pros: modern facilities and straightforward connections to central Tbilisi; cons: peak-hour traffic can slow travel and budget travelers may find cheaper fares on secondary carriers rather than at the airport itself.
