Flights from Shanghai to Taipei
The 677-kilometre hop between Shanghai Pudong and Taipei Taoyuan is one of the busiest cross-strait city pairs, with a typical block time of just over an hour and fifteen minutes — short enough that carriers often push single-aisle narrowbodies such as the Airbus A321 and Boeing 737 on the route, though EVA Air and China Airlines occasionally deploy widebody equipment during peak periods to manage demand. EVA Air and China Airlines tend to dominate frequency and service reputation on this corridor, with Air China and China Southern rounding out the mainland-carrier options. A practical note worth flagging: passengers holding ordinary mainland Chinese passports require a Taiwan Entry Permit rather than a standard visa, so allow extra lead time to arrange documentation before booking. Fares typically soften in the shoulder months of March and November; business-class redemptions on EVA Air's premium cabin can represent solid value when booked several weeks out, and midweek departures generally carry lower base fares than Friday or Sunday flights.
