Airport Hotels Shanghai
(Pudong International Airport)
Pudong International Airport Shanghai (PGV)
Shanghai has two main airports, with Pudong the main
international gateway and Hongqiao serving mostly domestic
flights, so be sure to check which one your flight is leaving
from. Transfer between the two takes about 1 hour by taxi
or nearly 2 hours by Metro.
Domestic airplane tickets are best booked in advance at one
of the many travel agencies or online, but can also be bought
at the airport on the day of departure. Fares are generally
cheap, but vary depending on the season; figure on ¥400-1200
for Beijing-Shanghai. When backpacking, it may often be cheaper
to book a flight along a big traffic line (Shanghai-Beijing,
Shanghai-Guangzhou, Shanghai-Shenzhen, etc.) and travel the
rest by bus or train.
The city of Hangzhou, about a 45-min train ride from Shanghai,
should also be considered if having a difficult time finding
tickets to Pudong or Hongqiao
Pudong International Airport
Pudong (浦东机场, IATA: PVG) is Shanghai's main international
airport, 40 km to the east of the city. Arrivals are on the
first floor, departures on the third, and the airport has
all the features you would expect of to find in the major
hubs around the world. There are two gigantic terminals (T1
and T2). A free shuttle bus service connects the two in case
walking a few minutes (or using the conveyor belts) are too
cumbersome.
