Cheap Flights from Surgut to Shanghai — $272

Shanghai is served mainly by two international airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s primary long-haul hub, handling most intercontinental and full-service carriers; it’s located about 30–40 km east of downtown and can take 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with highway fares typically in a higher range and the Maglev-plus-metro option costing more modestly and taking roughly 40–60 minutes. Shanghai Hongqiao International (SHA) is closer to the center (about 10–15 km west), acting as a domestic and regional gateway used by many budget and full-service Chinese airlines; travel time by metro or taxi is usually 20–40 minutes with lower fares. PVG offers broader international connectivity but can be farther and busier on arrival, while SHA is more convenient for central hotels and intercity rail links yet serves fewer direct long-haul routes.

Surgut International Airport (SGC) functions as the primary air gateway for Surgut and the surrounding Khanty-Mansiysk region, typically handling a mix of domestic flights and some international connections. It is commonly served by Russian carriers like Aeroflot, S7 and Utair, alongside several regional operators, so fares can be competitive for domestic travel but may be higher for limited international services. The airport sits roughly 10–15 km north of the city center; travel by taxi usually takes 15–25 minutes and can be inexpensive, while shared minibuses or local buses may take 25–40 minutes for a lower fare. Pros include a compact layout that can make transfers straightforward and a relatively short transfer time to town; cons can be limited late-night amenities and fewer international route options compared with larger hubs.

Fly direct from Surgut to Shanghai for the fastest, most convenient way to bridge Russia and China — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy your destination. Direct flights often mean a smoother, more comfortable journey, though connecting options can sometimes be cheaper if you’re watching costs. Book a nonstop to save travel time and keep your trip simple and stress-free.
