We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

Departure: Shanghai Hongqiao or Pudong (SHA / PVG)

Shanghai Hongqiao or Pudong (SHA / PVG) is where the Shanghai to Beijing flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.

• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Shanghai to Shanghai Hongqiao or Pudong
• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Shanghai Hongqiao or Pudong
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference

Arrival: Beijing Capital or Daxing (PEK / PKX) and getting into Beijing

You arrive at Beijing Capital or Daxing (PEK / PKX). The Airport Express reaches Dongzhimen from Capital Airport in about 25 minutes and the Daxing Airport Express reaches Caoqiao; both end with a taxi and a language gap, so most visitors book a car with a driver, and the Great Wall is a road trip in any case. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Beijing, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

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

Baggage, seats and classes on the Shanghai to Beijing flight

Before you compare the Shanghai to Beijing flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours arranges the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.

• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Shanghai to Beijing

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.

Things to do in Beijing when you land

Beijing is China's capital: the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square at its centre, the Great Wall in the hills to the north, and two airports - Capital (PEK) about 30 km north-east of the centre and Daxing (PKX) about 50 km to the south. The reasons travellers fly from Shanghai to Beijing include the Great Wall at Mutianyu or Badaling, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace and a hutong rickshaw ride. For the first meal, try halal Xinjiang restaurants in Niujie, Peking duck and jiaozi dumplings.

We offer tours and transfers in Beijing as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Shanghai to Beijing

Spring and autumn are best; summer is hot and humid; winter cold and dry; the National Day holiday in early October is crowded everywhere. On the flight from Shanghai to Beijing, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Beijing to Shanghai

We book the return leg from Beijing to Shanghai just as easily, usually on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Shanghai to Beijing?

Flight prices from Shanghai to Beijing follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you on WhatsApp before you decide.

Ask us 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 Beijing: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Shanghai to Beijing 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
• Let us know 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
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

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