Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport

Very big airport for a city (they have 2) and it’s very efficient. It’s clean, spacious, well managed. Signage is in bilingual. You have all kind of services you need. Domestic area is bigger than international area. Long walk for transit. For departure it is quite easy and the entire flow is continuous you wont feel lost. For arrival it’s easy too from the gate until ehailing all clear instruction and signage even first timer also won’t get lost. I like their ehailing arrangement so much that its clean and comfortable pickup area in the car park is very efficient.

This airport is quite large, very clean, and well-organized. The prices of items are not as expensive as in other countries. Lastly, I highly recommend that if you bring a power bank over 20,000 mAh, you arrive about 10 minutes earlier than usual to get an allowance letter.

Shanghai Hongqiao is definitely China’s best airport. Super close to city and not packed with people. Very clean and tidy. It’s well organized than any other airports in China.

Fantastic, modernized large airport. There is information centers and staff speak English. China Eastern Airlines Business Checkin Desks is in Section F.

This is a modern and huge airport right in the middle of the city. It is so convenient to get to and from as it is connected to the Metro and high speed rail. There are the usual international shops as well as plenty of domestic choices. The challenge is dealing with all the choices at the airport, high speed rail, or at the Metro. Best recommendation is to arrive early if you want to see and try everything!

Facilities have been substantially improved. Amazing improvement except the service attitude of customs staff. I don’t know how they can maintain such attitude for so many hours.

Checkin was smooth, security checks took 20minutes on its own, arrive early as the airport is pretty large too.

It used to be the most convenient airport in the country when it was renovated around two decades ago. Now with so many cumbersome and unnecessary security checks ( can you believe the need to scan your boarding pass again after the boarding gate and before the plane fare ?! They jut done trust each other🤓), along with a broken system that can only handle Chinese IC card, it’s become one of those second & third tier city airports.
