Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to SAN last minute?
Booking your flight from Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) to San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN) last minute could save you a nice sum if you get lucky and find an awesome deal. However, tickets generally don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you don't want to hedge your bets, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. Don't forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are constantly updated on Expedia.
What airports do you fly into for San Diego from Shanghai?
San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN), McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD) and San Diego, CA (MYF-Montgomery Field) are your options when setting off from Shanghai to San Diego. Approximately 3 kilometers northwest of the heart of San Diego, San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN) is the city's main hub. Consider factors such as flight schedules and the distance to your hotel before deciding on an airport. San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park are a couple of leading attractions to put on your itinerary when you arrive.
