Return flight from Seoul to Shanghai

How much is a flight from Shanghai to Seoul?

Flight prices from Shanghai to Seoul follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier 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.

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 electronic 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 Shanghai to Seoul: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Shanghai to Seoul is generally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally 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 check

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Shanghai to Seoul?" many times a day; the answer for your date comes back in the WhatsApp chat with the booking ready to confirm.

How to book flights from Shanghai to Seoul with Haqqi Tours

Here is how to book Shanghai to Seoul flight tickets with Haqqi Tours: use the short form on this page - date, one-way or return, passengers, class - and send it. Shortly afterwards we write to you through WhatsApp 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 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you by 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 Seoul

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 Seoul flight with a transfer from your hotel to Shanghai Pudong (PVG) and a driver waiting at Incheon International Airport (ICN).

Airlines flying from Shanghai to Seoul

On the flight from Shanghai to Seoul you can choose between China Eastern, Korean Air, Asiana, Jeju Air and Spring Airlines. A full-service airline usually includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

• China Eastern - Shanghai to Seoul
• Korean Air - Shanghai to Seoul
• Asiana - Shanghai to Seoul
• Jeju Air - Shanghai to Seoul
• Spring Airlines - Shanghai to Seoul

Departure: Shanghai Pudong (PVG)

Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is where the Shanghai to Seoul 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 offers a private transfer from your hotel in Shanghai to Shanghai Pudong
• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Shanghai 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: Incheon International Airport (ICN) and getting into Seoul

You arrive at Incheon International Airport (ICN). The AREX express train links Incheon Airport with Seoul Station in about 45 minutes and Gimpo in half that, and airport limousine buses stop at the big hotels; with luggage, a family or a Gangnam hotel off the line, a car door to door is simpler, and Daegu or Jeonju are road trips of two to three hours. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Seoul, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many passengers continue from Seoul to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Shanghai to Seoul flight

Before you compare the Shanghai to Seoul 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 provides 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.

• 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
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you

Flying with children, families and groups from Shanghai to Seoul

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 Seoul when you land

Insadong's tea houses and galleries, a Han river cruise, Lotte World Tower and Seoul Sky, the DMZ, a day trip north and Gyeongbokgung Palace and the changing of the guard are what most travellers come to Seoul for. Seoul is the capital of South Korea, a city of palaces and neon along the Han river, served by Incheon International (ICN) about 50 km west on its own island and Gimpo (GMP) about 20 km west for domestic and short regional flights; Myeongdong, Gangnam, Hongdae and Insadong are the districts most visitors stay in. Eat bibimbap, Korean barbecue in Gangnam and street food at Gwangjang Market while you are there.

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

Best time to fly from Shanghai to Seoul

Spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November) are the beautiful seasons; summer is hot and humid with the monsoon in July; winter is cold and dry with skiing near the city; the Chuseok and Lunar New Year holidays empty the city and fill the roads out of it. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Shanghai to Seoul are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.
