Shanghai is served by two main airports that play distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often seen as the pricier option for intercontinental travel; it sits roughly 30–40 km east of downtown and can be reached by airport express train (around 40–50 minutes), airport shuttle buses (50–70 minutes) or taxi (45–60 minutes depending on traffic), with fares that can range from moderate to higher for taxis. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) operates mostly as a domestic and regional gateway, commonly used by budget and full-service Chinese carriers and located about 10–15 km west of the city center; it’s usually faster to reach by metro or taxi (20–30 minutes by road, metro ~15–20 minutes, fares typically low to moderate). Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern long-haul facilities, while Hongqiao is more convenient for quick city access and domestic transfers. Cons: Pudong’s distance can add travel time and cost, and Hongqiao can be crowded during peak periods. Both airports connect well to the city by public transit and taxis, so choice often depends on route and schedule.
Vienna International Airport (VIE) serves as Austria’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers—most notably Austrian Airlines—alongside low-cost operators on many European routes. It’s located about 18 km southeast of the city center, with frequent S-Bahn and City Airport Train (CAT) services taking roughly 16–25 minutes; fares can range from modest single-ticket prices up to a premium for the non-stop CAT. Regional buses and taxis are also available, with taxi rides commonly taking 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. The airport typically offers a broad mix of services and lounges, making it convenient for transfers, while travelers on a budget may find cheaper fares with peripheral carriers and should factor in transfer time and public-transport costs.
