Departure: Shanghai Pudong (PVG)

Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is where the Shanghai to Tokyo 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.

Arrival: Tokyo Narita or Haneda (NRT / HND) and getting into Tokyo

Arrival is at Tokyo Narita or Haneda (NRT / HND), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the largest metropolitan area in the world, served by Haneda (HND) about 15-20 km south of the centre on Tokyo Bay and Narita (NRT) about 60-70 km east in Chiba, with the districts of Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza and Asakusa each a city in themselves. We provide airport transfers in Tokyo 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.

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

Baggage, seats and classes on the Shanghai to Tokyo flight

Before you compare the Shanghai to Tokyo 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.

• 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
• 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 Tokyo

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

Things to do in Tokyo when you land

Tokyo is the capital of Japan and the largest metropolitan area in the world, served by Haneda (HND) about 15-20 km south of the centre on Tokyo Bay and Narita (NRT) about 60-70 km east in Chiba, with the districts of Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza and Asakusa each a city in themselves. The reasons passengers fly from Shanghai to Tokyo include Shibuya Crossing, the Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Skytree, the Tsukiji outer market and teamLab digital art museums. For the first meal, try a depachika food hall, wagyu and okonomiyaki and sushi at the Tsukiji outer market.

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

Best time to fly from Shanghai to Tokyo

Flights from Shanghai to Tokyo run all year, 10+ a day. Cherry blossom in late March-April and autumn colours in November are the busiest seasons; summer is hot and humid, and the expressways from both airports are slowest on weekday evenings. 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 Tokyo to Shanghai

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Tokyo to Shanghai booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Shanghai to Tokyo?

The cost of a flight from Shanghai to Tokyo 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 check 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.

Just ask 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 Tokyo: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Shanghai to Tokyo 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 often 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

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