Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) functions mainly as a regional and budget-friendly gateway to the United Arab Emirates, often serving low-cost and full-service carriers with a focus on regional, South Asian and GCC connections. It sits about 15–25 km northeast of Sharjah city centre and can be reached by taxi in roughly 20–35 minutes depending on traffic; ride fares are typically lower than Dubai airport transfers. Public buses and shared shuttles also operate on several routes, with journey times around 30–50 minutes and modest fares. Pros: generally quicker check-ins and lower fares on some carriers; convenient for northern Sharjah and Sharjah Industrial areas. Cons: fewer long-haul amenities and international connections than Dubai’s larger hubs, and services can be more basic during peak periods.

Shanghai is served by two main airports: Shanghai Pudong (PVG) and Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA). Pudong is the international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers, typically handling long-haul and most intercontinental flights; fares from Pudong can skew higher on premium routes. It sits about 30–45 km east of downtown (roughly 40–60 minutes by maglev + metro or taxi, with fares ranging from modest metro fees to higher taxi costs). Hongqiao functions more as a domestic and regional airport favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes; it’s closer to the city center (around 10–15 km, 20–30 minutes by metro or taxi). Both airports offer fast rail or metro links, airport shuttles and taxis; Pudong adds the high-speed maglev for quicker transfers. Pros: Pudong’s wide international connectivity and modern facilities; Hongqiao’s convenience for central transfers and shorter ground travel. Cons: Pudong can involve longer transit times and higher taxi costs, while Hongqiao may be busier on peak domestic schedules and offers fewer intercontinental options.
