Shanghai is served primarily by two large airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and typically yielding higher fares than domestic-only fields. It sits about 30–40 km east of the city center; travel options include the Maglev plus metro (~45–60 minutes, moderate to high fares), express buses (~60–90 minutes, lower fares), and taxis or app rides (~40–70 minutes, fares variable). Pudong’s strengths are extensive international connections and modern facilities; drawbacks can be longer transfers to central districts and peak-hour traffic. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) operates more as a domestic and regional gateway, favored by budget and business travelers flying within China and nearby Asian cities. Located roughly 13–15 km west of downtown, Hongqiao is well integrated with the city via metro (~20–30 minutes, low fares), suburban rail (~15–25 minutes), and short taxi rides (~20–40 minutes, modest fares). Its convenience and proximity to urban rail make it a quick choice for short trips, though international long-haul options and some full-service amenities are more limited compared with Pudong.

Tomsk is served primarily by Bogashevo Airport (TOF), the region’s main commercial gateway that typically handles domestic flights and a limited number of international charters. Carriers operating here are usually Russian domestic airlines and low-cost regional operators, so fares can often be more economical than major hubs but may vary seasonally. The airport sits roughly 15–20 km southeast of Tomsk city centre; road transfers by taxi or local shuttle generally take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with ride fares usually modest, while occasional bus services offer a cheaper if slower option. Pros: compact terminal and short lines for many flights; cons: fewer amenities, limited lounge and dining choices, and less frequent international connections compared with larger Siberian hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Shanghai to Tomsk vary: minimum — $349 (October 2026), maximum — $387 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $368–$387.
