Return flight from Dubai to Shanghai
The Dubai to Shanghai flight is the same route in reverse, about 9 hours. 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 Dubai?
The cost of a flight from Shanghai to Dubai depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, 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 look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
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 Dubai: how to pay less
Finding cheap flights from Shanghai to Dubai is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:
- 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
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Shanghai to Dubai that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
How to book flights from Shanghai to Dubai with Haqqi Tours
Here is how to book Shanghai to Dubai flight tickets with Haqqi Tours: use the booking form on this page - date, one-way or return, passengers, class - and send it. Shortly afterwards we write to you in the WhatsApp chat with the options for that day, the fare that includes the bags you need and the price. Once you confirm and payment is arranged in the same conversation, we issue the ticket and send the e-ticket and booking reference.
- Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp 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 electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Dubai
If plans change, the same WhatsApp thread handles it. We spell out the airline's change and refund rules for the fare you chose before any payment, so there are no surprises later.
Airlines flying from Shanghai to Dubai
Emirates and China Eastern fly the Shanghai to Dubai 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.
- Emirates - Shanghai to Dubai
- China Eastern - Shanghai to Dubai
Departure: Shanghai Pudong (PVG)
Flights from Shanghai to Dubai leave from Shanghai Pudong (PVG), serving Shanghai - 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. 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: 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.
- 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
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
Arrival: Dubai International Airport (DXB) and getting into Dubai
You arrive at Dubai International Airport (DXB). The Dubai Metro Red Line runs from DXB Terminals 1 and 3 through Downtown to the Marina and Expo, and it is genuinely useful for a light traveller; with family luggage, or for a villa or hotel off the line, a car door to door is faster and cooler. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Dubai, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Many passengers continue from Dubai to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Shanghai to Dubai flight
Before you compare the Shanghai to Dubai 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 can provide 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.
- 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
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Shanghai to Dubai
Three things to know about the flight from Shanghai to Dubai with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and typically 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 Dubai when you land
Dubai is the Gulf's global city, a 50 km line of towers and marinas along the coast; Dubai International (DXB) sits close to the old Creek districts, about 15 km from Downtown and the Burj Khalifa and 35 km from the Marina, while Al Maktoum (DWC) lies far to the south near Expo City. The reasons travellers fly from Shanghai to Dubai include Dubai Mall and the Aquarium, Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis, the Gold and Spice Souks across the Creek, Al Fahidi historical district and Dubai Frame. For the first meal, try seafood at the Creek, shawarma from a Deira counter and Emirati machboos and luqaimat.
Haqqi Tours provides guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Dubai; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Shanghai to Dubai
November to March is the pleasant season; summer is very hot and humid, which is when a cool car at the door matters most. Sheikh Zayed Road is slowest on weekday evenings. On the flight from Shanghai to Dubai, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I book the Shanghai to Dubai flight for a group?
Yes. Give the number of passengers on the form; we book the seats together in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Which airlines fly from Shanghai to Dubai?
On this route: Emirates and China Eastern. Fares, departure times and baggage rules differ between them, so we compare all of them for the date you travel and send the sensible options side by side.
How early should I be at Shanghai Pudong?
About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.
Are there direct flights from Shanghai to Dubai?
Yes. Emirates and China Eastern operate non-stop flights from Shanghai to Dubai several a day, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
Change and refund rules depend on the airline and the fare class; some tickets are flexible, the cheapest are not. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same WhatsApp thread.
What is the cheapest flight from Shanghai to Dubai?
Typically an early-booked mid-week departure on the airline with the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Tell us if your dates are flexible and we find the cheapest Shanghai to Dubai flight across the days you can travel.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 9 hours flight. We send the cost of both.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
Of course. Haqqi Tours provides flight tickets on any route; Dubai to Shanghai and onward flights from Dubai can all go on the same booking.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children two and over need a seat and typically pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat the family together.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The airline must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.
Is baggage included in the Shanghai to Dubai flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
When is the best time to book the Shanghai to Dubai flight?
As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
Which airport do I fly from in Shanghai?
Departures are from Shanghai Pudong (PVG). We send the terminal and the check-in deadline with the ticket, and can add a private transfer from your hotel to the airport.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your hotel to Shanghai Pudong and a driver waiting at Dubai International Airport, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
How do I book flights from Shanghai to Dubai?
Fill out the form above with your date, one-way or return, the number of adults and children and the class. Haqqi Tours messages you by WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost; you confirm, we book and send the electronic ticket.
