Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport (SZX) is the city’s main international gateway and a major hub for domestic and regional flights, often serving full-service carriers and fast-growing low-cost airlines alike. Located about 32–40 km (roughly 40–60 minutes by car) northwest of downtown Shenzhen, the airport is reachable by metro (Line 11, ~30–45 minutes), airport shuttle buses and taxis — fares vary from low-cost metro tickets to mid-range taxi charges depending on traffic. Travelers can expect a modern terminal with plentiful shopping and dining options, though peak hours can be busy; pros include good rail connectivity and frequent services, cons include the distance from some central districts and occasional congestion during holidays.

Chelyabinsk’s main airport, Chelyabinsk Airport (CEK, Balandino), functions as a regional gateway with a mix of domestic and occasional international services rather than a major global hub. It typically handles flights from Russian carriers and a few low-cost or charter operators, so fares can be competitive for domestic routes and variable on international sectors. The airport sits roughly 20–25 km northwest of the city center; road transfer by taxi or rideshare usually takes about 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost in the range of modest local fares, while occasional shuttle or private transfer options may be available. Pros include compact terminals and straightforward navigation for quick connections; cons can be limited dining and shopping choices and fewer frequent long-haul connections compared with larger hubs.
