Shanghai has two Airports: Pudong Airport (PVG) for most international arrivals and Hongqiao (SHA) for domestic travel. Please check your ticket or with your travel agent which airport you are departing from or arriving at.
Pudong Airport is about 30 km away from Shanghai City Center. Travel time by taxi is about 60 minutes, expense approx. RMB 180. Alternatively, the high-speed maglev train will link you to the terminus of Metro Line 2, close to Shanghai New Int’l Expo Center.
Hongqiao Airport is about 10 km away from Shanghai City Center. Travel time by taxi is about 20 minutes, expense approx. RMB30.
When arriving at the airport, avoid drivers who approach you in the terminal or outside the terminal as these are almost always price-gougers, who will ask triple or more the actual price. There is a taxi line just outside the terminal. Make sure the driver is using his meter.
