Which airline can fly direct from Singapore to Shanghai?
The following airlines operate direct flights on the route Singapore — Shanghai: Spring Airlines
Singapore is served primarily by Changi Airport (SIN), a major international hub known for full-service carriers and extensive connections across Asia, Europe and beyond; budget airlines also operate from SIN but LCCs sometimes use nearby secondary terminals. Changi sits about 20–25 km east of the city centre, with express train rides taking roughly 30 minutes (fares typically in a low single-digit range) and taxi trips around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic for higher fares. Ground options include MRT, airport shuttle buses and ride-hailing services. Pros: efficient transfers, wide amenities and frequent international flights; cons: slightly longer transfer times to central districts than inner-city airports and peak-period congestion can affect taxis.
Fly direct from Singapore to Shanghai for the fastest, most convenient way to travel between these two vibrant cities—no layovers, less hassle, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop option saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the investment.
Shanghai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Shanghai Pudong (PVG) is the international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers, while Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) typically focuses on domestic and regional flights and some budget operators. Pudong lies about 30–45 km east of the city center; journey times by Maglev+metro or airport express can be roughly 40–60 minutes with fares usually higher than domestic links. Hongqiao sits much closer, around 13–20 km west of central Shanghai; metro and taxis commonly take 20–40 minutes and can be more affordable. Pudong offers broader international connectivity and more amenities but can mean longer transfers and higher ground-transport costs; Hongqiao is more convenient for short trips and city access but has fewer intercontinental options.
