Nick KFebruary 18, 2018Burger King, Starbucks and Macdonald’s are all here. Helps to kill some time as flight are almost always delayed. Check in here opens 3h before flight.Upvote52Downvote
Dave McJanuary 10, 2018I like T2 at Pudong, but it’s more convenient to fly into Hongqiao if there’s a flight available and you don’t need a taxi, the taxi queue in Hongqiao is a nightmare.

Victor GarridoJanuary 31, 2013A cab from here to the city center will cost you about 200RMB, a metro ride no more than 7RMB. Everything very new and clean, at least the don't spit here insideUpvote46DownvoteUpvoted Feb 23
Jeff MalkowskiApril 23, 2013Perhaps this lovely water feature was installed to detract from the complete lack of any bars in the many, many miles of T2.

Adeel KhanOctober 4, 2018If you think you'll have some shopping from duty free them you might get upset here, because here are only few shops and they are also closed. So buy everything from before immigration.Upvote4Downvote
Arrive early, prepare for security check line.Upvote6Downvote- JonasAugust 22, 2013Fast free WiFi provided by the airport is available in the arrivals hall close to the doors leading to the luggage pick-up area. At the domestic departure gates, free WiFi is available as well.Upvote2Downvote
- Burger king and some convenience stores on first floor (arrivals). On second floor (departures) at the left escalator you can wrap suitcases or fragile items for reasonable price. Good Wi-Fi @ gate E.Upvote1Downvote
Sito 🐶July 17, 2013Go to Burger King on the second floor for WiFi access. There's a password on the counter for "6am free wifi", but after that you need to get another code from any of the BK workers. Welcome to China!Upvote3Downvote- Yanick LandryJuly 13, 2019Taxis are scams ! Use Didi instead. The waiting post is at B1 level of the P2 parking lots (follow the signs for Parking). If you don't have the Didi app, use the web version in WeChat Wallet.Upvote1Downvote

The taxi line can be insane. Now you are in China go upstairs and take a cab that has dropped of someone in departures. Life hacking Shanghai

Avoid the restaurants and cafes on the ground level after you cleared the customs. Most of them are a tip off. Head to level 2 where you'll find a cafe, noodle stall, pizza stand and Burger King.Upvote3Downvote
Klaus TMay 30, 2013Take care on non official taxi driver, although looking official with their dress. Try to pick after the arrival. Take instead maglev, the hypertrain at highspeed to Shanghai and than by taxi or metroUpvote1Downvote
RashidSeptember 20, 2013Wifi "i-shanghai" is free, Just enter your local number(China-Mainland) and you will receive a password. You can use it in most public places in ShanghaiUpvote3Downvote
Jeffrey RustJuly 21, 2013Sit for 5-10 minutes after the landing time if your picking someone up. The gate to the exit is long and yes baggage maybe a little while. Or just make sure they have (SMS) when they get of the plane.Upvote1Downvote
tvnewswatchOctober 22, 2013Don't buy Coke at the cafés as they charge around 30 RMB for a can. Get drinks from vending machine at gate D83 for only 4 RMBUpvote3Downvote
Michael JordanJuly 19, 2012Be aware, they are misinterpreting TSA rules and disallowing ALL liquids > 180ml on board the aircraft. Even if you purchased it *after* security. Actual TSA rule here:Upvote1Downvote
Paul RasmussenApril 12, 2015The new Air China lounge is one of the best lounges I've ever been to. Rivals Cathays Lounges in HKG.Upvote1Downvote
If you need to exchange currency, do it before you pass through immigration; the exchange counters near the gates limit the amount you can exchange if you are a foreignerUpvote9Downvote
Betty TsoDecember 18, 2012Ridiculous!! For international passenger arriving for the first time without any local currency, it's a great hassle to get connected to free wifi or to make a phone call!! What the heck!Upvote1Downvote

Valerie PetrovJuly 10, 2016Make sure to grab snacks and food for the plane outside the airport. No good options once you're there ...Upvote1Downvote
Share the taxi with others if airport bus not available... First time but it works! 2 for 100 RMB, good deal.Upvote1Downvote
Arrived late? You may waiting about one hour for the taxi! You can take the Airport but to going to midtown without waiting. Go to the Terminal 1, No. 6 Gate of first floor, there is a midnight bus.Upvote2Downvote
Ritche CorpusAugust 22, 2014This airport is worse than Denver, Heathrow, Chicago, or Paris. Eat a good meal before coming here. You won't find any good restaurants.Upvote1Downvote- tvnewswatchOctober 22, 2013Get Coke from vending machines, there's one at gate D83, for only 4 RMB. Cafés charge 30 RMBUpvote2Downvote

Karl MoehringSeptember 12, 2013Burger King is remodeled and decent for a preflight meal. After a long trip in China why not end with a burger?Upvote2Downvote
Immigration line can be very long, but most gates are close by. For such a major airport, it's nice that you don't have to walk very far (like HKG or sometimes NRT)Upvote1Downvote
Timo WolfApril 7, 2013Trying to get a taxi? Just wait 30min or more if during the wring time. Not pleased.
