Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from FRA to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport last minute?
Booking your journey from Frankfurt Intl. Airport (FRA) to SHA last minute could save you dollars if you strike it lucky and find a good deal. However, fares typically don't come down in price as the departure date nears. If you wait around, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you'd rather play it safe, book well ahead of your departure date. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.

Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA), Pudong Intl. Airport (PVG) and Shuofang Airport (WUX) are your options when flying from Frankfurt to Shanghai. Approximately 13 kilometers west of central Shanghai, Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) is the city's main hub.
