Volgograd International Airport (Gumrak) serves as the city’s main long-haul and regional gateway, typically functioning as an international hub for full-service carriers and mid-range airlines while budget operators may offer seasonal routes. It sits about 15–20 km northwest of the city center; road transfers by taxi or private car can take roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, and fares are usually modest compared with Western European capitals. Bus and marshrutka (shared minibus) services provide cheaper alternatives, often taking 40–60 minutes with low fares. Pros: direct international connections and a compact terminal that can be quicker to navigate; cons: limited late-night amenities and fewer low-cost options compared with larger Russian hubs.

Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with different roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) functions as the main international hub, handling most long-haul and many full-service carrier flights; it’s about 30–45 km east of the city center and typically reachable by Maglev plus metro in roughly 40–60 minutes or by taxi in 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly higher than inner-city trips. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) acts as the domestic and regional gateway, favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes; it sits much closer, around 13 km west of downtown, and can be reached by metro or taxi in 20–40 minutes. Pudong can offer broader international connections but may be less convenient and costlier to get to, while Hongqiao is usually quicker for city access though it has fewer long-haul options.

The cost of a one-way flight from Volgograd to Shanghai ranges from $279 (November 2025) to $415 (October 2025). On average, the ticket price is about $350–$374.
