Top 5 airlines serving from hong kong to pu dong.

The employees are very nice and good. The delay due to the aircraft is not a good thing. Planning for such problems should be an easy task.

Wanted different plane design with an additional bathroom at the back of the plane.

The crew staffs are very nice. The temperature is too low.

There is very little in the title" Premium" in the Economy experience with Cathay, Melbourne to Hong Kong. The seats are uncomfortable and the cabin with outdated 1990's decor and trim. The food service was sloppy and the leg room providing little to no advantage over regular economy seating. Infact, the Sunday flight was not fill occupancy and I would have done better saving the significant additional costs for the PREMIUM ticket and taken advantage of the seating. If you are a regular premium economy traveler of EMIRATES expecting the same experience on CATHAY, you will be disappointed. Emirates far superior.

Great, the flight attendants were very friendly and the food was also good.

The first economy rows have remote space in the seat which eats in the seating space. The seats are also smaller compared to other airlines.

Very comfortable Prem economy seats for a long haul flight. Had a problem with the tv that the crew fixed so was great!

Crew experience was more transnational, seats were so close together (LtoR and FtoB) that it was difficult to enjoy much of anything. When the person in front leaned back, there is no space for me. Sadly it was a flight to be endured not experienced.

My seat was sold off to someone else. Had to wait 9 hours to catch the next filght. Definitely will never use Cathay Pacific again. Bad, very bad airline. will comment on google reviews too.

Seats were very comfortable. Crew were excellent. Food very good.

Flight was delayed for more than 3 hours, food was mediocre, seat didn’t recline

I think it’s time that somebody set a standard for the temperature in the cabins. I would rather it be colder than anybody that wants to have a blanket have a blanket to keep it so warm at times is unbearable and quite uncomfortable. That’s the only thing I would add.

For the price we paid, I couldn’t complain. Was good value for money. Service was excellent but food was mediocre. Crew were excellent and spoke English. You will never go hungry. The food was ample but was mediocre. Entertainment limited and wifi doesn’t all allow you to access some social media. The best part was comfortable seats and bed (business class) with a screen to close out the rest of the cabin.

For the price we paid, we had a really good flight. The seats and bed (business class) was extremely comfortable. I have no complaints. The crew were very attentive and helpful. They spoke English and there were no misunderstanding although their English wasn’t perfect or fluent. You will never go hungry as there was ample food and drinks but their food for mediocre. The entertainment was limited to older movies and the wifi didn’t allow you to access some Social media. Apart from the above, it was a very pleasant flight. Would highly recommend them.

Cheapest option from Gatwick £400 cheaper than Emirates and Qatar. Entertainment no where near as good as Emirates and Qatar, but saved £400 so all good.

Great staff and food. Seats pretty uncomfortable but plenty of legroom. Entertainment system outdated.

The flight was cancelled without any reason. But the next flight to Shanghai has to be cancelled to pay penalty.

Gatwick London-Shanghai -Bangkok.. Would have liked entertainment screens, but I know these planes are not that new. Cheap flights at the time of booking, Emirates wanted double so you get what you paid for. I would fly again with them, but if Emirates was the same price I would go with them.

We were cutting it close on our connecting flight and notified all staff at departing gate and flight attendants. From the start, we were told to check in with the international transfer desk by everyone, except for one lady who wanted to argue the time difference that was already taken into account. We also asked if we could try to exit the plane first (our family of 4 and 8 others on the same connecting flight). They just told us to check in with international transfers. We landed and had very little time to make our next flight. We were not offered any assistance or communication to the receiving gate. We ran all the way to the international transfers gate only to be turned away. I think we could have made it if we were allowed to exit and a call was made to other check in counter. After that we spent 6 grueling hours with our kids trying to rebook a flight. No food of any type of compensation was offered besides a dirty hotel room. The ladies with China Eastern at the Shanghai International counter were rude an unhelpful. We were directed to 3 different counters and waited before they said they forgot about a hotel. It was a long, miserable day. I believe this could have all been avoided.

The landings were smooth . Being unable to check-in online was terribly stressful and the queue at Haneda exemely long. We paid extra for window seats and did not get them.

No entertainment service which equates them with budget airlines. But their fare are regular airline fares. Aircraft are old and seats are worn.

The crews at check in counter are not professional, they are talking and playing around. Also no entertainment on the plane

2 failed landing attemps before going to Nagoya airport for refueling. After 3 hours of taxiing, we still needed 3 attemps before a succeeded landing (after the 5th attempt finally!). In total, 11 hours inside the plane instead of 4h30, and with only a crappy piece of bread to feed us. A shame.

My two luggage issue during my trip from kansai osaka to Shanghai. 1st booked tickets online, a iliitle hard time to follow all questions when I booked tickets. I haven't selected 2 luggage so that Spring Airline of osaka crew charged $181 US Dollar with my 2 luggage fee. Also, crew member mentioned I maybe be able to get money some back because I should got differe rate, the rate of luggage should was matched with tickets I ordered from edreams. I did try to access edream at the day I was changing my boarding pass. Therefore, I hope Kayak if can help me getting some my luggage fees back, I will appreciate a lot. Thank you, Jie egusa

This is a terrible airline. Worst seats I’ve ever encountered. Avoid at all costs!

bring your own movies. Download your own entertainment and games before flying

I was given a middle row seat and the plane was a small 737-800. Much too cramped for a full flight of over 5.5hours.

The same level of travel in Hong Kong would naturally cost you much more money, so you would probably want to keep your budget a little tighter in Hong Kong than you might in Shanghai.

If you're trying to decide if either of these two destinations are within your price range, also see Is Shanghai Expensive? and Is Hong Kong Expensive? .

Shanghai has a larger population, and is about 2 times larger than the population of Hong Kong. When comparing the sizes of Shanghai and Hong Kong, keep in mind that a larger population does not always imply the destination has more attractions or better activities. So, always research the type of place that you want to visit along with the activities and attractions that interest you.

Shanghai launches summer tourist campaign to boost international appeal.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Shanghai Summer partners with eight domestic conglomerates across a range of concerts, music ... [+] festivals, cultural and art performances, and major sports events to entice international tourists to the city.

The eyes of the world may be on Paris for the Olympic Games but in China, it’s shaping up to be the summer of Shanghai. To woo global tourists, the city’s government has launched the first Shanghai International Consumption Season which runs from 6 July to mid-October.

The initiative, “Shanghai Summer,” aims to welcome visitors across a range of concerts, music festivals, cultural and art performances, as well as major sports events in partnership with eight domestic conglomerates.

The opening of China’s borders in January 2023 saw fashion and luxury business leaders flock to the city. Among them were the CEO of LVMH Bernaud Arnault and Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, who both followed Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault. According to global data provider CEIC, Shanghai received 3.64 million visitors in 2023—still recovering from a high of nearly 9 million in 2019. CEIC estimates that this has resulted in over $6 billion in tourism revenue.

In the first two months of 2024, local cultural and tourism agencies report that Shanghai has received over 700,000 inbound visitors—up 300% year on year. Data provided by Trip.com in Europe has found a surge in travel to China, with Shanghai “solidifying its status as a premier travel destination for European tourists'' according to Jane McFadzean, senior director of destination marketing at Trip.com Group. Data compiled between January to June 2024 versus the same period in 2019 and 2023 shows that flight bookings from the EU to Shanghai increased by 39% from 2019 to 2024 and by 159% from 2023 to 2024. Bookings for hotels increased by 140% from 2019 to 2024 and by 208% from 2023 to 2024.

2024 paris olympics: how france planned for three opening ceremonies, trump vs. harris 2024 polls: trump loses 5 points in latest major survey—but still leads harris.

“One trend we find particularly exciting is the shift in booking behaviour,” McFadzean explains in an email. “European travellers are now planning their trips significantly earlier, reflecting a heightened anticipation and eagerness to experience all that Shanghai has to offer.” The UK leads as the top source market, accounting for 31% of bookings while millennials, particularly those born between 1985-1989 and 1990-1994 are the most represented age groups.

Now, as Chinese tourists travel (and spend) outside the country's borders, Shanghai, for one, is looking outward too, eager to re-engage its tourist numbers. Alongside flagship events such as the ATP 1000 Shanghai Masters, the Shanghai Tourism Festival and the Shanghai International Electronic Music, partners are also offering incentives. Efforts include China Eastern Airlines donating multi-trip international flight passes and 100,000 discounted international tickets; China Mobile and China Telecom giving short-term mobile access cards; and consumption coupons redeemable in the Bailian group’s department stores.

According to Tom Nixon, co-founder of digital marketing agency Qumin, who flies into Shanghai regularly for work and holiday-making, it's a city that has always looked outwards. “It is vital that Chinese cities like Shanghai ensure they are open for business—which includes tourism,” he says over WeChat. “It’s important that it welcomes back international visitors as well.” Nixon notes “practical efforts such as bridging the tech and fintech issues” at the heart of the campaign. These include easier access to China’s unique digital payment services and digital infrastructure, often “a stumbling block” for visitors.

While the prevailing narrative is one of dampened consumer sentiment and sluggish sales, international fashion companies are continuing to invest in China. Throughout this year, which marks the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relations, French luxury houses such as Chanel, Prada, Hermès and Louis Vuitton have been collaborating with museums, artists and art fairs in the country. Chanel has upped its investment in the Power Station of Art, a public institution funded by the Shanghai City Culture and Tourism Bureau in Huangpu.

This month, Chanel opened the hotly anticipated Shanghai leg of the retrospective exhibition Gabrielle Chanel. Fashion Manifesto at the PSA. The show, closing on 24 November, spans the Shanghai Summer, while Shanghai Fashion Week is set to run in October. This, China’s most outward-looking fashion event, attracts visitors and industry figures from all over the world. “It’s a clever move to wrap these major cultural events into the campaign. Above all, it’s a great sign that Shanghai is making international travel, and retail, more accessible,” Nixon adds.

Why Hong Kong residents are eager to travel to the mainland?

On July 1, the National Immigration Administration of China announced the issuance of a new five-year, multi-entry travel permit for Hong Kong's non-Chinese nationals with permanent residency, as part of the 27th handover anniversary celebrations.

In keeping with the classic China-hostile tradition, Western media raised a generalized alarm without bothering to find out what the people directly affected by the new policy thought about it. Local media in Hong Kong reported within hours that the automatic machines used for the booking procedure for this new visa were oversubscribed, leading local authorities to set up waiting lists.

Those who know the city well understand why this new initiative has so much support.

Having lived in Hong Kong for several years and frequently visiting the city, I can attest to the urgency of expediting the decision to streamline travel procedures from Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland. Many residents anticipate that additional simplifications will be introduced in the near future.

By continuing to focus on the perspective of the young people, now expatriates in Europe and the United States, who participated in the 2014 and 2019 riots, Western observers have missed a key point: Hong Kong society is much more diverse and nuanced than what this group of young people, which is very small in number and, as a result, not representative of the entire Hong Kong society, would have you believe.

Anyone familiar with Hong Kong is aware that the issue of giving multiple visas is a longstanding one. Hong Kong has long been the primary hub for a variety of commercial activities interested in conducting business in both China and the rest of Asia. As a result, the demand for numerous visas to easily go to China, particularly to maintain the ability to quickly organize unexpected business trips, is nothing new. This is why, immediately upon the government's approval of this option, the offices responsible for issuing new multi-entry travel permits experienced a surge in demand.

What is more important to underline is that the genuine astonishment regarding the reaction to this new policy comes from ordinary residents of all ages, not the corporate community. After realizing the utter baselessness of the 2019 incident due to the unchanging nature of their everyday lives in Hong Kong, locals liberated themselves from the long-held prejudices and decided to witness China's progress first-hand.

It is important to remember that for more than two decades, Hong Kong citizens, both local and foreigners, have regularly traveled to Shenzhen to buy clothing, furniture and tech equipment at cheaper prices. Today, Hong Kong residents travel to the mainland, and not just Shenzhen, to take advantage of everything the nation has to offer – from upscale eateries to professional massages in elegant spas, from local design galleries to four-star hotels. The list of high-quality, competitively priced products and services that China currently provides could continue to grow.

Today, Hong Kong residents come to the mainland not only because it is cheaper, but also because the quality of what it has to offer is far superior. The disparity is so stark that, as travel agents confirm, Hong Kong people prefer to spend their entire vacation on the mainland rather than Southeast Asia.

Not to mention, the mainland offers amenities and facilities that Hong Kong does not have, such as indoor ski fields, serene and sophisticated tea shops, or the option to queue for a restaurant directly from the hotel, which reduces potential waiting times.

More and more Hong Kongers are "taking a trip to the Chinese mainland," only to go to the hairdresser or run an errand at the bank (despite Hong Kong's long financial tradition, mainland institutions are becoming increasingly competitive). The trip takes no more than 40 minutes, whether by normal or express rail. And it only costs a few dollars.

Most of the people I know in Hong Kong say that if it becomes possible to cross the border in a few minutes, it may be worthwhile to even consider moving to Guangdong without having to give up a professional career in Hong Kong. Consequently, commuting to work from Shenzhen will be more convenient than from the New Territories, and the already high standard of living will continue to grow.

Naturally, when this occurs, the Western media will raise the alarm about "forced relocations." Local societies, as in every country worldwide, persistently strive to enhance their quality of life.
