Flying to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport

Travelers planning to fly to China will find a relative lack of information available to them in English and online about Chinese airports and the Shanghai Pudong International Airport is no exception to this. The official website has some information plus there is an online airport guide with further information that includes a diagram of the facilities and services while Japan Airlines has also created and uploaded an arrivals video onto Youtube.

In addition, travelers to Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport will find that taking the Maglev high speed train into the city (Pudong) will definitely save them time (the ride lasts roughly 7 minutes and 20 seconds) and probably money as well since airport taxis will tend to be expensive (travelers should also be careful when using taxis from the airport as some cab drivers have been known to take advantage of travelers new to China). A single trip ticket can be purchased for 40 Yuan by presenting an air-ticket from the same day while a round trip ticket that is valid for seven days can be purchased for 80 Yuan. Further information about the Maglev train is available on their website plus a promotional video about the train is posted on Youtube that some travelers may find helpful.
