Cheap Flights from Shanghai to Weihai — $196

Shanghai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Pudong International (PVG) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some premium regional airlines; it’s generally perceived as mid-to-high in price compared with domestic-focused options. Located about 30–45 km east of downtown, transfer times to central Shanghai are typically 40–60 minutes by Maglev or metro, 45–75 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, and fares can range from modest metro fares to higher taxi or Maglev costs. Pros: extensive international connectivity, modern terminals and amenities. Cons: longer transfer times and higher fares for central transfers. Hongqiao (SHA) is Shanghai’s nearer airport with a domestic- and regional-focused profile that also handles select short-haul international flights, often favored by budget and full-service carriers operating domestic routes. It sits roughly 13–20 km west of the city center; metro or suburban rail usually take 20–30 minutes, taxis 25–40 minutes, and costs are typically lower than Pudong for central transfers. Pros: convenience for domestic connections and shorter commutes to central districts and the high-speed rail hub. Cons: fewer long-haul options and sometimes more crowded peak periods.

Fly direct from Shanghai to Weihai for the quickest, most convenient way to get between these two coastal cities — perfect when you want to maximize time on the ground. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop trip saves hours, reduces hassle and usually offers a more comfortable, stress-free travel experience.

In different months, ticket prices from Shanghai to Weihai vary: minimum — $91 (January 2026), maximum — $187 (December 2026). Typically, the flight costs $139–$187.

Weihai is served by Weihai Dashuibo Airport (WEH), a regional airport that typically handles domestic flights and some seasonal links to nearby international destinations. It’s commonly used by full-service carriers and low-cost airlines alike, often resulting in a mix of moderate and budget-oriented fares. The airport sits roughly 30–35 km from downtown Weihai; travel to the city center can be by taxi (about 35–50 minutes, fares commonly in a mid-range for China) or by airport shuttle buses that take around 45–60 minutes at lower cost. Pros: relatively compact terminals, straightforward security and quick transfers. Cons: fewer international connections and occasional peak-time congestion.
