Yakutsk Airport (YKS) serves as the main domestic and regional gateway to the Sakha Republic and typically functions more as a regional hub than an international connector. The airport usually handles flights by Russian carriers such as Aeroflot, S7 and regional airlines, with fares that can be higher than average due to limited competition and the remote location. The airport lies roughly 18–20 km north of Yakutsk city center; taxis are the most common option and can take about 25–35 minutes with fares generally in a modest range, while occasional shared shuttles and private transfers may be available. Pros: direct access to the region, straightforward layout. Cons: limited international connections, variable onward transport options and seasonal scheduling that can affect convenience.

Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) functions as the international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic; it is typically where you’ll find major global airlines and a larger range of premium lounges and international connections. Pudong sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, with travel times of roughly 35–60 minutes by Maglev plus metro or 45–75 minutes by taxi, and fares that can range from moderate to higher depending on mode. Pros: extensive international network and more onboard services; cons: farther from downtown and can be pricier to reach during peak hours. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) operates more as the domestic and regional gateway, favored by budget and business travelers on short-haul routes and several Chinese carriers. Located about 13 km west of central Shanghai, Hongqiao is typically 20–40 minutes away by metro or 20–40 minutes by taxi, with generally lower transfer costs. Pros: closer to central districts and convenient for quick domestic connections; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be crowded during peak domestic travel periods.
