Cheap flights from Shanghai to Paris

November is the cheapest month on this route according to the data, though prices appear for every month of the year. Demand tends to rise around school holidays and the winter holidays when families want to reach Europe, so booking earlier helps you secure a better fare before those periods fill up.

The carriers that fly between Shanghai and Paris include Juneyao Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Air India, Hainan Airlines, Gulf Air, Etihad Airways, Air China, Cathay Pacific, Air Algerie and Turkish Airlines. All of them operate connecting flights through their respective hubs rather than offering a direct service on this long-haul route.

Paris gives you three airports to choose from: Beauvais Tille sits further out, while Charles De Gaulle and Orly are closer to the centre with regular transport links available. You will need to decide which one your ticket names before arrival so you can plan how to get into the city.
