Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) serves as Georgia’s main international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional flights, with a mix of full‑service carriers and low‑cost airlines operating year‑round. Located about 17 km southeast of the city center, transfer options include fixed‑route buses (roughly 30–50 minutes, low fare), taxis and ride‑hail services (20–35 minutes, variable fares) and private shuttles. The airport is usually perceived as affordable compared with major European hubs, though ticket prices vary by carrier and season. Pros: compact layout and straightforward arrivals; cons: can be busy during peak tourist months and some interline connections may require extra time.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul carriers and full-service airlines; flights here can skew pricier but offer extensive intercontinental connections. Pudong sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, reachable by maglev plus metro in roughly 40–60 minutes (fares vary, maglev base fare plus metro segments), taxis taking about 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: comprehensive international facilities and numerous lounges; cons: longer transfer distances and sometimes busy immigration lines.
Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) acts as a domestic and regional gateway popular with budget and legacy carriers operating short-haul routes. Located much closer to central Shanghai—around 13 km west—Hongqiao is often a quicker option for city access, with metro or taxi rides typically taking 20–40 minutes and public transit fares generally low. Pros: shorter transfer times and good rail/metro interchange; cons: fewer long-haul flights and more limited international connectivity. Travelers commonly choose between convenience at Hongqiao and wider international choice at Pudong depending on schedule and budget.
