Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s international hub, typically handling long-haul and intercontinental flights operated by full-service carriers and some global alliances; it sits about 30–40 km east of downtown and can take roughly 45–75 minutes by maglev/train or taxi depending on traffic, with fares varying by mode and time of day. Hongqiao (SHA) tends to focus on domestic and regional services, favored by budget and business travelers for its closer location about 10–15 km west of the city center — often a 20–40 minute taxi or 30–50 minute metro ride. PVG usually feels more spacious and offers more international connections, while SHA can be more convenient for quick domestic transfers; trade-offs include longer transfer times and higher transport costs from PVG versus quicker access but fewer long-haul options at SHA.

Ufa’s Ufa International Airport (UFA) serves as the main gateway for the Republic of Bashkortostan and functions as a regional international hub rather than a major long-haul gateway. It typically handles a mix of Russian carriers and some low-cost or charter operators, so fares can be moderate compared with larger Moscow airports. The airport lies about 20–25 km southeast of the city center; travel by taxi or ride-hail usually takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses and shuttles can take 45–60 minutes with fares generally low. Pros include straightforward layouts and regular domestic connections; cons are limited late-night services and fewer international route options compared with bigger hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Ufa to Shanghai vary: minimum — $294 (December 2025), maximum — $539 (September 2026). Typically, the flight costs $390–$812.
