Shanghai is served by two main airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is the city’s international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside premium lounges; it sits about 30–45 km east of central Shanghai, with the Maglev or metro taking roughly 30–45 minutes (fares typically vary, Maglev at higher single-ride cost; metro fares are lower). Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: longer transfer times to the city. Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional gateway used by many low-cost and domestic carriers, located much closer—about 10–15 km west of downtown—reachable by metro, taxi or bus in roughly 20–40 minutes (fares generally modest). Pros: quicker city access and compact terminals; cons: fewer long-haul options and sometimes higher perceived prices for international transfers.
Toyama Airport (TOY) serves as a regional gateway to Toyama Prefecture and the Hokuriku coast, typically handling domestic flights and a handful of seasonal international charters rather than functioning as a major hub. Airlines operating here tend to be Japanese carriers and low-cost regional operators, so fares can often be competitive for short-haul trips. The airport sits about 6–7 km south of Toyama city center; a taxi usually takes 15–20 minutes, while the airport limousine bus and local bus routes reach downtown in roughly 25–30 minutes with modest fares. Pros include compact terminals and quick transfer times; drawbacks can be limited flight frequency and fewer international connections compared with larger airports.
