Getting to the city
Shanghai has two airports, so check your booking first: Pudong International and Hongqiao International are separate hubs, and a ticket into one will not get you into the other. If you are connecting between them, or meeting someone arriving at the other, leave a wide margin. Metro, taxi and airport bus services all run between the airport and the city; pick your option before you land rather than after, and allow extra time on the way back for check-in and security at a hub this size.
