Shanghai is served by two major airports. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for carriers such as China Eastern, Air China and many global airlines; it typically handles long-haul and international routes and can be slightly pricier on some connections. Pudong lies about 30–40 km east of downtown; travelers often use the Maglev plus metro (around 45–60 minutes), airport shuttle buses or taxis (roughly 40–60 minutes, fares vary by route). It’s modern with extensive facilities and transit links but can mean longer transfers to central hotels. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions as a more domestic and regional airport, favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes and by some full-service carriers; it’s much closer to the city center at about 10–13 km. Hongqiao is well connected by metro and high-speed rail (typically 20–30 minutes) with frequent airport shuttle options and relatively short taxi rides. The convenience and shorter transfer times are advantages, while international connectivity is more limited compared with Pudong.

Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (WNZ) serves as the main international and domestic gateway for Wenzhou and the surrounding Zhejiang region, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines. Flights typically connect to major Chinese hubs and some regional international destinations, with fares that can be competitive compared with larger coastal airports. The airport sits about 20–30 km southeast of downtown Wenzhou; road transfers by taxi or ride-hailing normally take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and may cost roughly CNY 60–120, while airport shuttle buses and occasional intercity buses offer cheaper alternatives in the CNY 10–30 range and longer journeys. Pros: relatively modern terminal and a decent range of domestic routes; cons: longer ground travel times in peak traffic and fewer direct long-haul options than China’s largest hubs.

The cost of a one-way flight from Shanghai to Wenzhou ranges from $45 (November 2025) to $50 (December 2025). On average, the ticket price is about $47–$50.
