Flying with children, families and groups from Shenzhen to Chengdu

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 Chengdu when you land

Chengdu is the panda and hotpot capital of Sichuan, with the panda base, the teahouses and the Leshan giant Buddha. Start with Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli Ancient Street and Sichuan opera face-changing, then People's Park teahouses and the Chengdu panda base. A tip from our desk: Tell us which airport you land at, Tianfu or Shuangliu, with your flight number and hotel name; they are about an hour apart, so this matters for your pickup.

If you want the days in Chengdu organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it in the WhatsApp chat.

Best time to fly from Shenzhen to Chengdu

March to June and September to November are the best months, mild and green; Chengdu is cloudy and humid most of the year, summer is hot and wet, and winter is cool and grey, with mist on the mountains. On the flight from Shenzhen to Chengdu, 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 Chengdu to Shenzhen

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Chengdu to Shenzhen 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 Shenzhen to Chengdu?

"How much is the Shenzhen to Chengdu 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 offers the current cost for the date you travel in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

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 Shenzhen to Chengdu: how to pay less

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

• 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 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

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from Shenzhen to Chengdu?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Airlines flying from Shenzhen to Chengdu

Sichuan Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and Air China fly the Shenzhen to Chengdu 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.

• Sichuan Airlines - Shenzhen to Chengdu
• Shenzhen Airlines - Shenzhen to Chengdu
• Air China - Shenzhen to Chengdu

Departure: Shenzhen Airport (SZX)

Flights from Shenzhen to Chengdu leave from Shenzhen Airport (SZX), serving Shenzhen - shenzhen is China's tech city on the Hong Kong border, with the skyscrapers of Futian, the OCT art district and Window of the World. 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: High-speed trains link Futian and Shenzhen North with Hong Kong West Kowloon in about fifteen to twenty minutes and with Guangzhou in about thirty to forty-five minutes, and the Luohu crossing can be passed on foot. A modern metro links the airport and all districts, while cross-border transfers and trips to Dafen and Dameisha are easiest by private car.

• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your accommodation in Shenzhen to Shenzhen Airport
• Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Shenzhen Airport

Arrival: Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU) and getting into Chengdu

You arrive at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU). Chengdu's high-speed trains reach Chongqing in about an hour to an hour and a half, Xi'an in about three and a half hours and Leshan and Mount Emei in about an hour. The metro links both airports and the stations with the centre. For the panda base at opening time and day trips to Leshan, Emei and Dujiangyan, a private car is the most comfortable choice. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Chengdu, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

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 Shenzhen to Chengdu flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Shenzhen to Chengdu. Full-service fares usually 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
