Cheap Flights from Dhaka to Shanghai — $228

Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) serves as Bangladesh’s primary international gateway and a busy hub for full-service carriers such as Biman Bangladesh and several Middle Eastern and South Asian airlines; it can be pricier than secondary airports but typically offers the widest range of international connections. The airport is about 15–20 km north of central Dhaka; road transfers usually take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with ride-hailing, airport taxis and limited shuttle services commonly used (fares can vary). Pros: extensive international routes and good ground services. Cons: congested roads and busy terminals can make journeys longer and less predictable.

Shanghai is served primarily by two major airports with different roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s main international hub, handling long-haul and many full-service carrier flights; it’s located about 30–45 km east of central Shanghai, with express maglev or metro links taking roughly 30–45 minutes and taxi or ride-hail trips commonly ranging from 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. Pudong can feel more modern and spacious but travel times and fares tend to be higher. Hongqiao International (SHA) operates closer to the city — around 10–15 km west — and is typically used for domestic and regional flights by many budget and full-service Chinese carriers. Hongqiao is often preferred for short transfers to downtown: metro, airport shuttle, and taxi rides usually take 20–40 minutes and can be cheaper than Pudong transfers. Choose Pudong for international connections and Hongqiao for domestic convenience; each airport can offer advantages in price, transit time, and comfort depending on your itinerary.
