Ulan-Ude’s Baikal International Airport (UUD) serves as the city’s main air gateway and is typically a regional hub with occasional international seasonal flights. It generally handles domestic carriers such as Aeroflot and S7 alongside smaller Russian airlines, with fares often competitive compared with Moscow connections. The airport sits about 12–16 km southeast of the city center; taxi rides usually take 20–30 minutes and can be relatively inexpensive, while fixed-route minibuses and local buses may take 30–50 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: compact terminal, straightforward transfers and shorter queues outside peak times. Cons: limited lounge options and fewer direct long-haul services compared with larger hubs.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is the city’s main international gateway and typically serves long-haul carriers and premium full-service airlines, alongside some international low-cost operations. Located about 30–45 km east of central Shanghai, transfer options include the Maglev (8–10 minutes to Longyang Road), the metro Line 2 (about 40–50 minutes), airport express buses (60–90 minutes depending on traffic) and taxis (roughly 40–60 minutes), with fares varying by mode and time of day. PVG can be more convenient for international connections and offers full-service amenities, but its distance from the center and peak traffic can add time and cost compared with closer airports. Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) functions mainly as a domestic and regional hub and is often favored by business travelers for its proximity to the city’s western districts. It sits roughly 13–20 km from downtown Shanghai, accessible by metro Lines 2 and 10 in about 20–30 minutes, airport shuttle buses (25–40 minutes) or short taxi rides (20–35 minutes). Hongqiao typically hosts many domestic full-service and regional low-cost carriers and can be perceived as more convenient and time-efficient for domestic trips, though it handles fewer long-haul international flights and may be busier during peak business hours.
