Stavropol’s M.V. Golubev Airport (STW) functions mainly as a regional/domestic gateway rather than an international hub, handling mostly Russian carriers and seasonal charter flights. It is typically used by budget and regional airlines, so fares can be relatively modest compared with major federal hubs, though prices vary with demand and season. The airport lies about 10–15 km northwest of the city center; road travel usually takes 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. Options include taxis and local buses, with taxis offering the quickest door-to-door transfer and buses providing a cheaper, slower alternative. Pros: compact terminal and short transfer times; cons: limited lounge and shopping choices and fewer direct international connections.

Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers such as China Eastern, Air China and many global airlines; fares here can often be mid-to-high range compared with domestic-focused airports. It lies about 30–45 km from downtown Shanghai (roughly 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic). Public transport options include the Airport Maglev plus Metro Line 2 (about 8–10 minutes on the maglev to Longyang Road then ~30 minutes by metro) and airport express buses (45–60 minutes); expect metro fares in the low single-digit CNY range and airport bus fares around mid-double digits. Pros: extensive international connections, modern facilities and reliable transit links; cons: longer transfer times to the city and potential congestion at peak hours. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional airport with strong high-speed rail and shuttle connections, commonly used by budget and full-service Chinese carriers for short-haul routes. It is situated much closer to the city center—about 13 km west of downtown—so ground transfers can be 20–40 minutes by taxi. The airport is integrated with Hongqiao Railway Station and Metro Lines 2 and 10, making transfers to central locations quick and usually inexpensive (metro fares typically low single digits). Pros: convenience and shorter travel times to central Shanghai, easy rail links for onward travel; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be crowded during peak domestic travel periods.

In different months, ticket prices from Stavropol to Shanghai vary: minimum — $342 (November 2025), maximum — $498 (October 2025). Typically, the flight costs $409–$409.
