Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to fly from TAO to SHA?
China Eastern Airlines has a direct flight departing from TAO at 10:15AM and arriving at Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) at 11:50AM — a travel time of 1 hour and 35 minutes. Choose your perfect seat, bring a few things to keep you busy and the time will speed by.
Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Liuting Intl. Airport (TAO) to SHA last minute?
Being a spontaneous soul is a fabulous way to explore the world, but it’s not always the ideal way to land a bargain airfare. It’s better to book your TAO to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport journey ahead of time instead of 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. We recommend saving that spontaneity for when you reach your destination!
What airports do you fly into for Shanghai from Qingdao?
From Qingdao, you can get to Shanghai through Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA), Pudong Intl. Airport (PVG) and Shuofang Airport (WUX). Determine which hub is right for you before you make a decision. If you settle on Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA), it’s roughly 8 mi west of the downtown area. Use the dough you save when booking your airfare with Expedia to visit the city’s awesome sights, such as The Bund and Jingan Temple.
