Xiamen Gaoqi International (XMN) is the city’s primary international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long‑haul and regional flights, while nearby smaller fields are used mainly for general aviation. Major carriers including China Southern, XiamenAir and other Chinese and Asian airlines commonly operate here, with a mix of full‑service and low‑cost options; fares can be competitive on domestic sectors and vary for international routes. The airport lies about 10–15 km northeast of Xiamen city center; taxi rides usually take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost roughly CNY 40–80, while the BRT and metro connections offer cheaper transfers in around 30–45 minutes for a few yuan. Pros: well‑served by public transport and frequent flights; cons: peak‑hour traffic and terminal crowds can make transfers less relaxed.
Shanghai is served mainly by two major airports with different roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international gateway and a long-haul hub for full-service carriers, typically handling most intercontinental flights; it sits about 30–40 km east of downtown and can take 45–75 minutes to reach by Maglev + metro or taxi, with public-transit fares generally low while taxis are noticeably more expensive. Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional hub favored by budget and business travelers for its proximity — roughly 13 km west of the center — and is linked by metro, shuttle and taxi in about 20–40 minutes at modest cost. Pros: Pudong offers extensive international connections and modern amenities; Hongqiao is convenient for city access and quick domestic connections. Cons: PVG’s distance can add travel time and higher taxi fares, while SHA can be busier and more constrained for long-haul services.
