KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Shanghai Pu Dong Airport to San Francisco

  • There are two airports serving the city of Shanghai: Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA). While both offer flights to San Francisco, Shanghai Pudong is a lot busier than Shanghai Hongqiao and therefore not ideal if you want to avoid the long queues.
  • Travelers have the option of two additional landing airports; San Jose International Airport (SJC) and Oakland International Airport (OAK). They are both less busy than San Francisco Airport (SFO) although those who choose to land at either airport will have to deal with two layovers on their journey since all the nonstop flights land at San Francisco.
  • If you have a lot of luggage, China Airlines would be a good option to go for. They allow two checked bags in addition to your carry-on luggage for Economy class, unlike other airlines which only allow one or even none in certain cases.
  • To get to PVG from downtown Shanghai, you can choose from the bus, or metro or use a taxi. When running late, the taxi is the best option as it can be found anywhere in the city and goes directly to the airport terminal.
  • Due to the long nature of this flight, consider upgrading to first class especially if you are traveling on Etihad Airways. You get extra legroom, a reclinable seat, and even a blanket to make the journey as comfortable as possible.
