Route data is updated regularly from official airline schedules. On-time performance data comes from recent airport delay snapshots.
China Eastern Airlines is the primary carrier with 4 to 6 daily nonstop departures from its Pudong hub. Shanghai Airlines (a China Eastern subsidiary) adds 1 to 3 daily flights. Air China, Dalian Airlines, and other carriers may operate 1 to 2 frequencies. Some services may use Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) instead of Pudong (PVG), so confirm which Shanghai airport your flight departs from. Block time is 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes.
Hongqiao (SHA) is closer to central Shanghai and more convenient for passengers staying in Puxi (the western side of the river). Pudong (PVG) is better if you are connecting from an international flight, since most long-haul flights arrive at PVG. The two airports are 50 km apart. Transferring between them takes 90 minutes or more by taxi and about 70 minutes on Metro Line 2. If your origin is in central Shanghai, Hongqiao saves significant ground time.
Dalian Metro Line 2 connects the airport to downtown stations including Xian Road and Qingniwaqiao. The ride takes about 25 minutes and costs CNY 4. Taxi fare to downtown is CNY 30 to 50. Airport express buses run to several downtown locations for CNY 10. Dalian's airport is only 10 km from the city centre, making ground transfers quick by Chinese airport standards.
Shanghai Pudong to Dalian: East Coast Domestic Connector
PVG-DLC links China's financial capital to the major port city on the Liaodong Peninsula in northeast China. China Eastern and Shanghai Airlines account for the majority of nonstop service from Pudong, with 5 to 9 combined daily departures. Block time is 2 hours 15 to 30 minutes on the roughly 1,100 km sector. Dalian is a coastal economic zone with major petrochemical, shipbuilding, and software industries. Business traffic between Shanghai's financial sector and Dalian's industrial base drives weekday demand. Some flights on this route operate from Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) rather than Pudong.
High-Speed Rail and Airport Access
High-speed rail does not directly compete on the PVG-DLC corridor due to geography. The overland rail route from Shanghai to Dalian passes through Nanjing, Jinan, and Shenyang, taking 10 to 12 hours. Air travel holds a decisive time advantage on this city pair. Pudong Airport connects to central Shanghai via Metro Line 2 (60 minutes to People's Square) and the Maglev train to Longyang Road station (8 minutes, CNY 50). Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport is compact and close to the city, with Metro Line 2 providing direct downtown access in 25 minutes. Dalian is developing a new airport, Dalian Jinzhouwan International, which will replace Zhoushuizi and expand capacity significantly.
