Cheap Flights from Hiroshima to Shanghai — $164

Hiroshima is served mainly by Hiroshima Airport (HIJ), an international-capable but regionally focused gateway located about 50 km east of the city center in Mihara. It typically handles domestic flights as well as a handful of international routes; low-cost carriers often operate alongside full-service Japanese airlines. Ground transport options include an airport limousine bus to Hiroshima Station taking roughly 45–70 minutes, taxi rides that may take around 40–60 minutes, and car rental; bus fares are commonly more economical while taxis can be notably pricier. The airport can be a convenient, less hectic alternative to larger hubs, though the distance from downtown can add travel time and cost.

Fly direct from Hiroshima to Shanghai for the fastest, most convenient way to cross the East China Sea — fewer hassles, no transit waits, and more time to enjoy Shanghai’s sights. While occasional connecting routes can be cheaper, choosing a nonstop saves hours and delivers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the premium.

Shanghai is served by two main airports: Pudong International (PVG) and Hongqiao (SHA). Pudong operates as the city’s primary international gateway and long-haul hub, handling most intercontinental carriers and full-service airlines; fares to/from PVG can be perceived as mid-to-high compared with domestic services. It sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, with maglev or metro journeys taking roughly 30–60 minutes (maglev ~8 minutes to Longyang Road plus transfers; metro ~45–60 minutes), taxis typically 40–60 minutes depending on traffic; fares and transfer fees vary. Pros: extensive international connectivity, modern terminals and amenities; cons: longer transit times and higher taxi costs during peak hours. Hongqiao functions largely as Shanghai’s domestic and regional airport and is often used by budget and full-service Chinese carriers for short-haul flights. Located roughly 10–15 km west of central Shanghai, it’s conveniently linked to the city via metro and suburban rail in about 20–30 minutes, while taxis usually take 20–40 minutes; fares are generally lower than trips to Pudong. Pros: shorter transfer times, easy access for business travelers and airport rail links; cons: more limited international routes and can be busy during peak domestic travel periods.

In different months, ticket prices from Hiroshima to Shanghai vary: minimum — $156 (March 2026), maximum — $202 (April 2026). Typically, the flight costs $186–$402.
