Booking your journey from Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) to Frankfurt Intl. Airport (FRA) at the last minute could save you a pretty penny if you're lucky to find a good deal.

If you don't want to risk it, book well in advance of when you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.

Frankfurt Intl. Airport (FRA), Griesheim Airport (ZCS) and Kelsterbach Airport (QLH) are your choices when jetting from Shanghai to Frankfurt. Roughly 10 kilometers southwest of downtown Frankfurt, Frankfurt Intl. Airport (FRA) is the city's main hub. Consider factors such as flight arrival and departure times and the distance to your hotel before you select an airport.
