Bhubaneswar to Shanghai Flights

The Bhubaneswar to Shanghai air route connects Bhubaneshwar (BBI) to Pu Dong Airport (PVG). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Bhubaneswar and Shanghai. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many business travellers fly from Bhubaneswar to Shanghai, one of China's biggest commercial hubs. Shanghai offers a mix of modern skyscrapers and historical buildings, with diverse cultural experiences.

Best time to fly

The spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) seasons are ideal due to mild weather and fewer crowds. Avoid the summer months of June to August due to high humidity and potential typhoons.

Getting from the airport to Shanghai

Shanghai has two major airports: Pudong (PVG) and Hongqiao (SHA). From Pudong, take the Maglev train to Longyang Road station (around CNY 50), then transfer to the metro. A taxi from Pudong to the city center costs around CNY 150-200.

Local tips

Learn a few basic Mandarin phrases, as English is not widely spoken. Download a translation app and a VPN before you go, as some websites are blocked in China.
