Tip: Be sure to check which of Shanghai's two airports your flight is leaving from (the other is Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG)). If you need to transfer between the two airports:
- The trip takes about 1 hour by taxi.
- There are direct shuttle busses between the airports.
- You can transfer by metro (allow 2 hours), as both airports are on line 2, the main East-West line through downtown Shanghai, but at opposite ends of it (optional: reduce time by taking the Maglev train for the segment of the journey near PGV).
Tip: It is difficult to determine if a departing flight is from Terminal 1 or 2, a mistake involves a 20-minute ride between the terminals (so leave lots of time!).
