Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (XMN) serves as the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, typically handling flights across China, East Asia and some longer-haul routes. Located about 10–15 km northeast of downtown Xiamen, it can be reached by taxi in roughly 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, or by the metro and airport shuttle buses in about 30–45 minutes; fares for public transit are generally modest while taxis and ride-hailing can cost more. The airport is usually efficient and well-equipped with lounges and dining options, making connections convenient, though peak-hour traffic and occasional crowds can reduce comfort.

Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s main international hub, commonly used by long‑haul carriers and full‑service airlines, and typically handles most intercontinental flights; it sits about 30–45 km east of downtown and can be reached by Maglev (around 8 minutes to Longyang Road) or metro Line 2 (about 40–60 minutes), taxis and airport express buses usually take 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, and fares can range from modest subway fares to higher taxi and Maglev charges. Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional gateway favored by low‑cost and business travelers on short‑haul routes; it’s much closer to the city center (roughly 13 km west), accessible via metro Lines 2 and 10 in 20–30 minutes or by taxi in 20–40 minutes with moderate fares. Pros: PVG offers extensive international connections and modern facilities, while Hongqiao is more convenient for central Shanghai access and quick domestic transfers. Cons: PVG’s greater distance can mean longer transfers and higher ground transport costs, whereas Hongqiao may be busier for domestic peak times and has fewer long‑haul options.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Xiamen to Shanghai is $86 (July 2026), while the maximum is $110 (August 2026). On average, a ticket costs $98–$110.
