pbatt Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I will be traveling from Hongqiao airport to Pudong airport on Wednesday Mar 10th. I arrive at Hongqiao at 11:45 am and my flight is not until 6pm at Pudong. What are my options? Thanks in advance RegardsPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.c Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Very easy. You can get directly from each airport by the subway. Take Line 9 from Hongqiao to East Nanjing Rd station. Then transfer to Line 2 at that station and it takes you directly to Pudong airport. I heard it takes about 2 hours from airport to airport by subway. If you have a lot of luggage or want to cut the time down to 1 to 1.5 hours then taxi would be best. Taxi will run you 200+ rmb. http://www.exploreshanghai.com/metro/ Edited February 16, 2011 by bcco (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonp31 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Another option (I did this last year) is to take a bus that runs directly between the two airports. The bus is »ú³¡Ò»Ïß (Airport Line 1). Under normal conditions it will just take about an hour, if traffic is heavy of course that's a different story. Either way, it's probably faster and more convenient than the subway. There should be a bus every 20 minutes. Cost is 30 RMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I've taken the bus before. For me, that's the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnoblett Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) They beat me to it I have suggested the bus before, that's what bit is for. Anyway on two past trips to China my flight in and out was through Pudong no changing airports. I wonder if United still flies into Pudong? Yep United 835 From Chicago arrives in Pudong at 2:50pm and United/Continental 3288 from Newark arrives in Pudong at 2:55pm Edited February 16, 2011 by dnoblett (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbatt Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks everyone. I will look into the bus. I am not sure about United but I got a reasonable price for American Airlines. Minneapolis to Shanghai via Chicago for 673.00. Will fly to Guilin later in the day from Pudong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
