Flights from Chongqing to Shanghai
Connecting two of China's most commercially vital cities across roughly 1,462 km, this domestic trunk route covers the distance in a typical block time of just over two hours, making it a natural alternative to the slower high-speed rail journey. Sichuan Airlines and Air China are the dominant carriers, with China Southern, Juneyao, Shenzhen Airlines, and ANA rounding out the tracked operators; narrow-body Airbus A320-family jets handle the bulk of departures, and frequencies are high enough that hourly or near-hourly options appear during peak periods. Travelers arriving into Shanghai Pudong (PVG) should budget at least ninety minutes to reach the city center by Maglev and metro, considerably longer than from Hongqiao, so it is worth checking whether your onward connection departs from Pudong or Hongqiao before booking. Fares on this route tend to soften noticeably in the shoulder months of late January after Spring Festival and again in October's tail end, while midweek departures typically undercut Friday and Sunday evening peaks by a meaningful margin.
