Return flight from Shanghai to Chongqing

How much is a flight from Chongqing to Shanghai?

The cost of a flight from Chongqing to Shanghai depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Chongqing to Shanghai: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Chongqing to Shanghai is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Chongqing to Shanghai that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Departure: Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG)

Flights from Chongqing to Shanghai leave from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), serving Chongqing - chongqing is a vast mountain city in south-west China where the Jialing meets the Yangtze, famous for its layered streets, Hongyadong, night river cruises and spicy hot pot. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: High-speed trains link Chongqing with Chengdu in about an hour to an hour and a half and with Xi'an, Guiyang and other cities, and flights connect the airport with all of China. The metro and monorail cover the centre, but the hilly, multi-level streets make a private car the easiest way to reach hotels, viewpoints, Wulong and Dazu.

• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport

Arrival: Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) and getting into Shanghai

The flight lands at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA). Shanghai is China's largest city, split by the Huangpu river between the Bund's colonial waterfront and Pudong's towers; Pudong International (PVG) is about 45 km east of the centre and Hongqiao (SHA) about 15 km west, beside the high-speed rail station. From arrivals you have taxis, local transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Chongqing to Shanghai journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Onward flights or trains from Shanghai the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Chongqing to Shanghai departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Chongqing to Shanghai flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Chongqing to Shanghai. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Flying with children, families and groups from Chongqing to Shanghai

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.
