Pudong International Airport

Pudong International Airport (PVG; Pudong Guoji Jichang; 6834 1000, flight information 96990; www.shairport.com) is located 30km southeast of Shanghai, near the East China Sea. All international flights (and some domestic flights) operate from here (other domestic flights fly from Hongqiao airport). If you’re making an onward domestic connection from Pudong International Airport, it’s essential that you find out whether the domestic flight leaves from Pudong or Hongqiao (the latter has two terminals), as it will take at least an hour to cross the city.

Simple and easy to navigate, there are currently two main passenger terminals, with a satellite terminal due to start operating in 2015. Departures are on the upper level and arrivals on the lower level, where there is a tourist information counter.

Banks and ATMs are easily located throughout the airport, on both sides of customs. The Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, at the international end of the lower level, can cash travellers cheques and give Visa credit-card cash advances. There are China Post offices in the arrival and departures hall.

Left Luggage Located in the arrival and departure halls and open from 6am to 9.30pm. Charges are Y20 for one hour or Y30 for a day.
