KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Sydney to Shanghai Hongqiao Intl Airport

  • Located just east of the city centre, the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) is one of two airports servicing Shanghai. It caters to both domestic and international flights; however, after the construction of Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG), the majority of flights in and out are domestic and regional.
  • Due to this, there are no direct flights from Sydney to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA). However, airlines such as China Southern offer flights with a single stopover and a flight time of approximately 14h.
  • While airlines such as XiamenAir offer the fastest travel times, we suggest booking with China Southern, as the difference in flight time can often be disproportionate to the difference in price.
  • Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) is comprised of two terminals. Terminal 1 is used for international flights and a few regional airlines such as Xiamen Air. And while Terminal 2 is used for domestic flights, most flights journeying to Sydney will embark from this terminal as the most common stopovers on route are still in China.
  • Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) is made up of three terminals, with Terminal 1 being the dedicated terminal for international travellers and Terminals 2 and 3 being used for domestic flights. While most flights to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) stopover in China and therefore depart from Terminal 1, an airport shuttle service is available between terminals for passengers arriving at another terminal.
  • While Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) is closer to the city centre than its partner airport in Shanghai, for travellers looking to stay along the coast and wanting to land near their hotel, we suggest looking at flights to and from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG).
