Thinking about Hefei? Here's what actually matters before you book: flight time, who flies it, which airport you land at, what paperwork you need, and where the real savings are. Fares start from ₹16,833 per person on EaseMyTrip.

How Long is the Shanghai to Hefei Flight?

A direct Shanghai–Hefei flight runs about 2h 12m in the air, covering roughly 433 km. That number shifts a bit by airline and aircraft — China Eastern Airlines usually runs the fastest, around 1h 35m. One thing worth knowing: the clock difference between India and Hefei on your ticket isn't your actual flight time — check the duration field, not the times. With 49+ flights a day, there's not much reason to book a connection unless a specific fare or a stopover you actually want makes it worth it.

Which Airlines Fly from Shanghai to Hefei?

China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Air China, Shenzhen Airlines operate this route. The real difference between budget and full-service here isn't always the fare — it's what's included in it. Baggage allowance and layover length move your actual cost more than they do on a domestic booking.

Most people end up comparing all of this on EaseMyTrip instead of checking airline by airline. It's faster to see fares, baggage limits, and reviews side by side than to dig through five different sites.

Shanghai and Hefei Airport Information

You'll fly out of Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) in Shanghai. Land in Hefei and it's Hefei Luogang International Airport (HFE) — check your ticket for the terminal, since carriers don't all use the same one.

Do Indian Travelers Need a Visa for Hefei?

Depending on your passport and travel purpose, you may need a visa, an e-visa, or qualify for visa-on-arrival for Hefei. Have your documents ready before you apply, as processing times vary. Passport validity doesn't change no matter which route applies to you: keep six months left on it from your travel date, or airlines can deny you boarding at check-in. Entry rules move faster than flight schedules do, so check the official immigration site close to your travel date.

Things to Know Before Booking Shanghai to Hefei Flights

Book 6–8 weeks out, not the week before. That's usually the sweet spot here. November tends to run cheapest overall.
Mind the calendar on both ends. Fares climb around the Indian holiday season, and separately around Hefei's own peak — local holidays, weather, events. Shift your dates by a few days and you'll usually see it in the price.
Give yourself 3 hours, not 2. International check-in eats more time — immigration, extra security screening. Online check-in usually opens 24 to 48 hours out.
Don't assume domestic baggage rules apply. International fares are more generous, but it swings a lot by airline and fare class, so actually read the fare rules.
Price round trip before you buy one-way. The gap tends to be bigger on international routes than on domestic ones.
Tue flights, plus a code. Tue departures run cheaper on this route. Stack EMTFIRST, EMTNCF, or EASEDAY at checkout on top of that.
