Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Yekaterinburg is served primarily by Koltsovo International Airport (SVX), the region’s main international and domestic hub that typically handles most long-haul and European flights. It’s a full-service airport with a mix of legacy carriers and some low-cost operators; fares can be competitive for domestic sectors but may be pricier on international routes. Koltsovo lies about 16–18 km southeast of the city centre — taxi or rideshare takes roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, usually costing modestly more than local public transport. Buses and minibuses connect to central stops in about 40–60 minutes for a low fare, while airport facilities are generally modern and comfortable; peak-time queues and longer transfer times for international departures can be downsides.
Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) is the city’s main international hub, typically handling long-haul and many full-service carriers as well as some premium regional flights; it sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, with Maglev + metro or airport express/metro connections usually taking around 45–60 minutes and fares typically ranging from moderate to higher depending on mode. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) functions more as a domestic and regional gateway and can be more budget-friendly for short-haul travelers; it’s located roughly 13–16 km west of the center, reachable by metro or taxi in about 20–40 minutes with generally lower fares. Pudong can be more spacious with extensive international facilities but often means longer transfers to downtown, while Hongqiao is convenient for business districts and domestic connections though it has fewer long-haul options.
