Flying with children, families and groups from Shanghai to Bangkok

Three things to know about the flight from Shanghai to Bangkok with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and generally a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Bangkok when you land

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand on the Chao Phraya river, served by Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) about 30 km east of the centre and Don Mueang (DMK) about 25 km north, with the Grand Palace and old city on the river, the shopping districts of Siam and Sukhumvit inland and the Riverside hotels along the water. The reasons travellers fly from Shanghai to Bangkok include the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Arun at sunset, Wat Pho and the reclining Buddha, Chatuchak weekend market and a long-tail boat on the khlongs. For the first meal, try boat noodles at Victory Monument, mango sticky rice and tom yum goong.

Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Bangkok; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Shanghai to Bangkok

Flights from Shanghai to Bangkok run all year, 10+ a day. November to February is the cool, dry season and the busiest; April is the hottest month and the rainy season runs June to October, when afternoon downpours slow the expressways. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Bangkok to Shanghai

The Bangkok to Shanghai flight is the same route in reverse, about 4 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Shanghai to Bangkok?

"How much is the Shanghai to Bangkok flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for the date you travel within minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Let us know for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from Shanghai to Bangkok: how to pay less

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

• 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 verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Shanghai to Bangkok flight first, then the alternatives.

How to book flights from Shanghai to Bangkok with Haqqi Tours

The easiest way to book a flight from Shanghai to Bangkok is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you let us know through WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.

• Step 1 - fill out the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Bangkok

Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Shanghai to Bangkok flight with a transfer from your hotel to Shanghai Pudong (PVG) and a driver waiting at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK).

Airlines flying from Shanghai to Bangkok

China Eastern, Thai Airways, Juneyao and Spring Airlines fly the Shanghai to Bangkok route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• China Eastern - Shanghai to Bangkok
• Thai Airways - Shanghai to Bangkok
• Juneyao - Shanghai to Bangkok
• Spring Airlines - Shanghai to Bangkok

Departure: Shanghai Pudong (PVG)

Your journey starts at Shanghai Pudong (PVG). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. The Maglev reaches Longyang Road from Pudong Airport in 8 minutes and the metro continues from there; Hongqiao has Metro Lines 2 and 10. Each ends with a transfer and a walk with luggage, so a car from the terminal is the calm option, and Disneyland or a Hongqiao-to-Pudong hotel is a long drive either way.

• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your accommodation in Shanghai to Shanghai Pudong
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Shanghai Pudong
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one

Arrival: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK) and getting into Bangkok

Arrival is at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang (BKK / DMK), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Bangkok is the capital of Thailand on the Chao Phraya river, served by Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) about 30 km east of the centre and Don Mueang (DMK) about 25 km north, with the Grand Palace and old city on the river, the shopping districts of Siam and Sukhumvit inland and the Riverside hotels along the water. We provide airport transfers in Bangkok with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Shanghai to Bangkok flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Shanghai to Bangkok. Full-service fares typically 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.

• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• 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 airline; families seated together on request
