Non-stop flights connect Xi'an with Shanghai in about two and a quarter hours, landing at Hongqiao, close to the city centre, or at Pudong for international connections. It is much faster than the train, which takes six hours or more. Check which Shanghai airport is on your ticket; we arrange private transfers in both cities.

Arrival: Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA) and getting into Shanghai

Arrival is at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in Shanghai 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 Shanghai to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Xi'an to Shanghai flight

Before you compare the Xi'an to Shanghai 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.

• 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 Xi'an to Shanghai

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 Shanghai when you land

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. The reasons passengers fly from Xi'an to Shanghai include Shanghai Disneyland, the Shanghai Museum, a Huangpu river cruise, Tianzifang and Zhujiajiao water town. For the first meal, try hairy crab in season, red-braised pork and scallion oil noodles.

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

Best time to fly from Xi'an to Shanghai

Spring and autumn are pleasant; summer is hot and humid with the rainy season in June; winter is cold and damp; the October holiday week is the busiest. On the flight from Xi'an to Shanghai, 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 Shanghai to Xi'an

We book the return leg from Shanghai to Xi'an just as easily, normally 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. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Xi'an to Shanghai?

Flight prices from Xi'an to Shanghai 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.

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 e-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 Xi'an to Shanghai: how to pay less

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

• 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
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

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

Departure: Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY)

Your journey starts at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY).
