Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Chennai Airport to Shanghai Hongqiao Intl. Airport last minute?
Being spontaneous is a fabulous way to discover the world, but it's not always the ideal way to land a bargain plane ticket. Consider booking your Chennai Airport to Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) journey in advance instead of leaving it till the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you reach your destination!
What airports do you fly into for Shanghai from Chennai?
Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA), Pudong Intl. Airport (PVG) and Shuofang Airport (WUX) are your choices when taking off from Chennai to Shanghai. About 13 kilometers west of the center of Shanghai, Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) is the city's major hub. Take into account things like flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before deciding where you fly into. The Bund and Jing'an Temple are two amazing attractions to visit when you reach your destination.
Can I change the date of my flight from MAA to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport?
You can make changes to your MAA to Shanghai Hongqiao Intl. Airport trip through the Expedia Trips portal. Before you amend times or dates, check the rules and restrictions in your itinerary to find out what you're allowed to do and if fees apply.
