Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the primary international and long-haul hub, handling major global carriers and most intercontinental routes; fares here can be mid-to-high relative to domestic alternatives. It lies about 30–40 km east of the city center and is usually reachable by the Maglev plus metro or direct metro line in roughly 40–60 minutes; expect metro fares to be modest and airport transfers by taxi or ride-hailing to take about 45–60 minutes depending on traffic with higher taxi costs. Advantages: extensive international connections and modern facilities; downsides: distance from central districts and occasional congestion. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) primarily serves domestic and regional flights and can be more budget-friendly for short-haul trips, with many low-cost and Chinese carriers operating frequent services. Situated much closer to central Shanghai—around 13 km west—it's often reachable by metro in 20–30 minutes or by taxi in about 25–40 minutes, usually at lower fares than trips to Pudong. Pros: proximity to the city, integrated rail and metro links and quicker transfers for domestic travelers; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be crowded during peak domestic travel periods.

Yakutsk Airport (YKS) functions as the main air gateway for the Sakha Republic and typically operates as a regional hub rather than a large international center. Flights are usually a mix of domestic carriers and occasional seasonal or charter services, with fares often perceived as higher than Russia’s western routes due to distance and limited competition. The airport sits roughly 13–20 km north of central Yakutsk; taxi rides commonly take about 20–30 minutes and can cost in the regionally typical range, while local buses or minibuses may take 30–45 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: relatively compact terminal and direct regional connections. Cons: fewer airline choices and potentially higher prices, with limited late-night services.
