Practical guide

Shanghai Hongqiao Airport: use Terminal 1 services before a transit break

The municipal guide identifies luggage, mobility, travel-information, exchange and tax-refund services for inbound and transit passengers.

Shanghai’s municipal government reports that Hongqiao Airport has an inbound travel information center in the international, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan arrivals public area of Terminal 1. It describes consultation on itinerary planning, internet access, mobile-payment setup and local transport. The same report describes luggage storage, wheelchair rental, currency exchange and departure tax-refund services. Locations, eligibility, duration and availability are live conditions, so ask airport staff before relying on any individual service.

A clear next step

  1. If you arrive at Terminal 1, find the inbound travel information center in the stated arrivals public area.
  2. Use the center for immediate orientation, connectivity, payment or local-transport questions before leaving the airport.
  3. For luggage, wheelchair, exchange or tax-refund needs, confirm the current service location, eligibility and availability with airport staff.

Questions

What to keep in mind.

Can I assume free storage or a service-center benefit applies to my itinerary?

No. The municipal report describes the services, but conditions, eligibility and availability must be confirmed live with the airport.
