Cheap Flights from Shanghai to Zhanjiang — $106

Shanghai is served by two main airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental flights and hosting full-service carriers and many international alliances; it can be slightly pricier on average for convenience and direct routes. Pudong lies roughly 30–40 km east of downtown; typical transfers include the Maglev plus metro (about 30–50 minutes, fares from around ¥50–¥100 including segments) or airport shuttle/taxi (45–60 minutes, fares often starting near ¥150). Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: longer transfer times and occasional traffic or higher taxi costs. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional airport with a growing number of short-haul international services, often favored by budget-conscious and business travelers on domestic routes. Hongqiao is located close to the city center, about 13–20 km west, and is directly connected to the metro and high-speed rail hub; metro rides to central areas typically take 20–40 minutes with fares around ¥3–¥10, while taxis are usually 25–45 minutes costing roughly ¥60–¥120 depending on traffic. Pros: quicker access to downtown and convenient rail links; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be crowded during peak domestic travel periods.
