Check in at Chongqing Airport

Check in at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG). We recommend arriving at Terminal 3A at least 2 hours before your flight. Most major carriers like Air China and China Eastern offer self-service kiosks with full English interfaces. Domestic weight limits in China can be stricter than US domestic flights. Spring Airlines is particularly firm on their 7kg (approx. 15 lbs) carry-on rule.

To get to CKG, the best two ways of transfering are metro Line 10 & Didi. Metro is the fastest and the cheapest way. Didi is good for more privacy and flexibility, especially for families.

  • Pudong (PVG): The International Hub
    • Location: 20 miles east of downtown.
    • Best For: Travelers heading to Disneyland, the Pudong Financial District, or those seeking the "Maglev" high-speed experience.
  • Hongqiao (SHA): The City Gateway

    • Best For: Travelers heading to The Bund, Jing’an, or French Concession. It’s much closer to the city center and saves you at least 30 minutes of travel time.

Shanghai has a very convenient and busy transportation system. Usually, you can take the high-speed Maglev or Didi/Taxi.

Best Time to Book Flights from Chongqing to Shanghai

Book your flights 2-4 weeks in advance. And try to avoid Chinese public holidays like the Golden Week or Chinese New Year. For a great deal, fly in mid-week. Try to be more flexible with your departure times.
