Shanghai is served by two main airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the international gateway and a major hub for long-haul and SkyTeam carriers, typically handling most intercontinental flights and full-service carriers; prices can be mid-to-high compared with regional airports. It sits about 45–50 km east of downtown Pudong, reachable by maglev plus metro in roughly 45–60 minutes (fare for maglev plus metro commonly in the moderate range) or by taxi in 40–60 minutes depending on traffic for a higher fare. Pros: modern facilities and plentiful international connections; cons: distance from central districts and potential peak-hour delays.
Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional hub, often used by budget and domestic full-service airlines for short-haul routes, with fares commonly seen as more budget-friendly for internal travel. Located much closer—around 13–15 km west of the city center—it is linked by metro and suburban rail with journeys typically taking 20–30 minutes and modest fares, or by taxi in 25–40 minutes for a moderate fare. Pros: proximity to central Shanghai and convenient transfers to urban transport; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be busy during holiday periods.
Yiwu Airport (Yiwu Mengjia) serves as a regional gateway for Zhejiang’s commercial heart, catering mainly to domestic and nearby international routes rather than long-haul networks. It typically handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so fares can be competitive for short hops but may rise during trade fair periods. The airport sits roughly 13–20 km from downtown Yiwu; taxis and rideshares usually take about 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while local buses connect to the city in about 40–60 minutes with modest fares. Pros: relatively compact terminals and straightforward transfers; cons: limited late-night frequencies and fewer airline choices compared with major hubs.
