Flight departures and arrivals
Check real-time flight status at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). Review schedules and possible delays before heading to the terminal or arranging your transportation.
Ground transportation
The airport is served by the metro, Maglev train, Airport Link Line, buses and taxis. The three rail connections serve different purposes: Metro Line 2 provides access to various parts of Shanghai, the Maglev offers a fast connection to Longyang Road, and the Airport Link Line connects Pudong with the area around Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (SHA).
Terminal 1 (T1): taxi rank near Gate 11 in the arrivals area.
Terminal 2 (T2): taxi rank near Gate 26 in the arrivals area.
As a guide, a taxi to People’s Square in central Shanghai may take around 50 minutes and cost approximately CNY 180, depending on traffic and the exact destination.
Vehicles booked through ride-hailing apps such as DiDi use separate pickup locations:
T1: P1 parking facility, bus level.
T2: P2 parking facility, Level B2.
Services depart from designated stops in the ground transportation areas of both terminals, with routes and schedules varying by service.
Intercity buses are also available to destinations in the surrounding region, including Suzhou and Wuxi. These services use platforms on Level B1 of the transportation area between T1 and T2.
For travel to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (SHA), the Airport Link Line generally provides a more direct rail connection than conventional bus or metro routes.
Metro – Line 2: connects the airport with stations including Longyang Road and People’s Square. The journey to People’s Square takes approximately one hour and costs around CNY 7. It is an economical option for reaching different parts of Shanghai.
Maglev: the magnetic levitation train connects the airport with Longyang Road in approximately 8 minutes, with a standard fare of around CNY 50. Passengers can continue by metro from Longyang Road to other parts of the city. The Maglev does not travel directly to central Shanghai.
Airport Link Line: connects Pudong Airport Terminal 1&2 Station with the area around Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (SHA). The journey between the two airports takes approximately 40 minutes and costs around CNY 26. It is particularly useful for passengers transferring between airports or continuing their journey from the Hongqiao railway hub.
The railway stations are located in the transportation center between T1 and T2, with signposted access from both terminals.
These services do not operate throughout the night, so passengers arriving or departing in the early morning should consider other available transportation options.
Driving in mainland China requires a valid Chinese driving license or an eligible temporary Chinese driving permit. A foreign driving license or International Driving Permit alone is not sufficient.
Eligible foreign visitors can apply for temporary driving authorization. Passengers without the required permit can use taxis, ride-hailing services or book a chauffeured vehicle.
Transportation between terminals
Terminals T1 and T2 are connected through the airport’s public areas, allowing passengers to walk between them by following the signposted pedestrian routes.
A free shuttle bus also operates 24 hours a day, with typical intervals of approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Passengers changing terminals should allow time for the transfer and, depending on their itinerary, any required baggage collection, check-in and security procedures.
