Ground transportation to Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport
Serving the west side of China’s largest city, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport mainly focuses its attention on domestic flights as well as select international flights. Cherished for its close access to residential communities as well as the on-site Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, the facility makes traveling to the area especially easy. The airport is home to two existing terminals; Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1 is home to four separate floors, with the 1st floor being arrivals and the 2nd floor being a large departures plaza. The newer Terminal 2 provides three floors, with the 1st floor home to arrivals and the 2nd providing a transfer hall to the 3rd floor departures area. Ground transportation includes high-speed trains along three separate lines as well as taxiways and inter-terminal shuttles.
Parking
Shanghai Hongqiao Airport offers easy access to a few separate lots that provide short-term and long-term rates. Short-term and long-term spots are available for Terminal 1’s parking lots, offering rates that gradually decrease after 24 hours, then repeat as a daily standard. Much better rates are offered at the Terminal 2 parking lots, though long-term spots are also an option. Additional perks include free parking for the first 20 minutes as well as oversized spots, not to mention complimentary shuttles to the terminal and surrounding hotels. And for business travelers, executive valet services make getting to your destination especially easy – for more information, contact +86 021 3466 1605 for assistance.
