Martin D. CiaoAugust 19, 2014For a short weekend trip, take the subway into the city! You can buy special weekend 3-days unlimited pass from the information counter. Very useful if you will take the subway a lot on your trip!

Adamos ChristodoulouDecember 31, 2014Terminal 1: Last chance for taking home Shanghai memories, pop in the shop on your far left as you walk towards the big number gates. I personally got some beautiful things I am so glad I found!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Dave McAugust 2, 2018Much more conveniently located than Pudong airport, but not as many international flights. Great option for domestic flights though.
Lillian LinMay 7, 2016To get WiFi without a chinese phone, connect to the WiFi anyway and on the login screen, click the chinese words to the right & below the login button. Then you can change the country of your phone #!
Quite fancy airport, strong WiFi, fully equipped facilities and it has huge area.
Smaller airport near city. However check in queue can be extremely long for early morning flights. Online check in often unavailable... Limited F&B options
Very convenient to the metro, on my best day I've gone curb to gate in 7min.
EVERYTHING about this airport is Easier, Faster, Better than Pudong. Flow design, checkin, security, immigration, quality and quantity of F&B options, taxi queue, etc, etc. -Everything-.
Need to get out of the security area and re-check-in if you fly with Air China and connecting thru SHA.Upvoted 1 week ago
T2 is fantastic - Starbucks outside/pre boarding & inside the terminal there is starbucks, Zegna, L'occitane, kiehl's, Burberry - you can do last minute shopping here
Sara VasquezApril 15, 2014If taking a night flight, arrive here instead of Pudong Int'l and skip the exorbitant taxi fares. Night bus from 10:30pm on out with 2 stops: Jingan Temple and People's Square.- Seb 🇫🇷🇨🇳2 weeks agoVery convenient from SH downtown. Not so much international flights but ok for HK and TW however and some south east Asia countries
T1 and T2 are far apart. T1 has limited international flights to Asia capitals such as HND, TSA and GMP.
Sherry JuMay 20, 2016Good thing about a small airport especially for int'l departures: gate very close so no rushing around. 😂😂😂
One of the best airports in China and voted world’s 22nd best airport in 2020
Yeany DahlanJanuary 5, 2015Free wifi! Just log in using your mobile number and get password via sms. Love it.
Basheera AbdulazizSeptember 11, 2017Liked this airport more than the PVG. Strict security checks in all over China. Try to get to the airport at least 3 hours before your flight.
RexJune 26, 2017Decent airport and closer to city center (compared to Pudong). Expect delays, although it's not necessarily the airport's fault
Martin Fraire CambiassoNovember 27, 2014Be early, many people always. The extra weight charge is cheap, do not leave anything behind!!
Prepare for a long walk in the terminal to get checked in.... Depending on what for you get dropped off at
Juan NJuly 17, 2019You’ll face three security checks. First, when you enter the building, before passport control, then full check after that.
Robert N.September 18, 2012this is the only place i have ever been to where i saw women the age of my mother wear hello kitty clothes, hats & bags. and as delays seem to be normal here, there is plenty of time to watch them.
Charles BelinOctober 25, 2011Withdraw cash before customs as there's no ATM inside. Good selection of Cognac but Remy Martin only available in VSOP, a shame. I shall fix that.
PJune 2, 2013Bring snacks if you know you are gonna be delayed in terminal 1 .... It's frequent.... Never ever taken off on time...always hungry
Felix TengMarch 14, 2015Security lines are long, food are expensive. Other than the above two, very good
Nishant SharmaSeptember 15, 2021Hottest airport, the AC either doesn't work or they keep it super hot like in Chinese hotels.
Good luck getting an on-time flight here. Not to worry, plenty of bad restaurants and gates with broken A/C to keep ya comfy.
Jacobo P LJuly 10, 2018VIP 5 Lounge is crowded today...not so many facilities for "foreigners" passengers...
Well, at least it's better than PEK. Take the subway, much faster
Eko Rudi IswantoJuly 18, 2015Heard that the delayed becomes habbit here was true...My flight was supposed to be depart at 6pm but due to traffic congestion, almost 2 hours there was no update schedule
Take the RH escalator after security, stop at Starbucks, then go to gate 48 ... a bit more of a walk
- Good if you want to fly within China and if you don't mind delays
A pacific coffee company outlet is located near the gate 37!
Marco TaianaMarch 1, 2014The free wifi is working quite well but after security control there's nothing to do. No shops, no coffee, no restaurant.
