Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Mascot Airport to Shanghai Hongqiao Intl. Airport last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a fabulous way to travel the world, but it's not necessarily the best way to grab a bargain fare. It's better to book your Kingsford Smith Intl. Airport (SYD) to Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) journey well ahead of time rather than leaving it to 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. Save all that spontaneity for when you're discovering Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA)!
What airports do you fly into for Shanghai from Sydney?
Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA), Pudong Intl. Airport (PVG) and Shuofang Airport (WUX) are your choices when heading off from Sydney to Shanghai. About 13 kilometers west of the heart of Shanghai, Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) is the city's main entry point. Keep in mind things such as flight arrival and departure times and the distance to your hotel before choosing an airport. The Bund and Jing'an Temple are a couple of terrific attractions to put on your must-see list when you arrive at your destination.
Can I change the date of my flight from SYD to Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA)?
Quickly make changes to your Sydney Airport to Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) ticket through the Expedia Trips portal. But before you make any adjustments, look over the conditions and rules in your itinerary to see what you can do and what fees apply for changes.
