HELP made a mistake!!!
Posted: Mon April 2, 2007 10:16 AM UTC
My inlaws are arriving of an Interntational flight at Pudong airport snd I have then booked them onto a domestic flight to Ningbo I did not check which airport the connecting flight was to leave from, and now realise that the airport they are flying out of is Hongqiao airport. The international flight gets in at 08:45 and the Ningbo flight departs at 11:30. My question is how do I get them to the other airport? what would be the Quickest way. 1.Should I suggest the Levitation train and then a taxi at the other end.
2.A taxi all the way
3. An express bus
They are not that familar with Pudong airport and have not been to Hongqiao airport before

Having never taken the elevated train before, I would say a taxi all the way. I dont know how close the last stop to HongQiao Airport is though and how easy it would be to get a taxi from there? It usually takes about 45 mins by taxi from downtown to Pudong and about 20mins from downtown to Hongqiao, but youre talking about rush hour times, so of course things could be drastically different.

I hope someone comes up with some good advice for you.

If you are going to take the taxi from the levitation train. I would skip the levitatio train and take the taxie from the airpot.

I don't know if the bus or taxi would be faster but I'll bet the taxi would be faster. No need to wait for the bus depuarture time if you take a taxie. I also also think the taxi will be faster then the bus if they leave at the same time.

Taking a taxi is the only way unless the flight arrives earlier and they could catch the airport shuttle to Hongqiao Airport on or before 9:00.

I have used both airports quite a lot. Here are three words of advice: TAXI TAXI TAXI. It will cost you plenty, maybe 200 RMB but it's better than a nervous breakdown or, worse yet, a bus breakdown.

If you had an extra hour (can't you change the flight?) I'd say airport shuttle bus number 5 to Zhangshan Park (30 RMB?), and then taxi (20 RMB?) just to save money. But forget the Maglev (40 RMB). It's out of the way, no time savings for your route, waste of money.
