    Excellent Maglev with Tom

    Tom was excellent! He was waiting for me after the passport control and walked with me to MagLev, we sat donw and enjoyed 8 min of Maglev which would have needed 30-40 min by taxi cab. Tom is very knowledgeable.

    Maglev amazing, transfer amazing, wonderful!

    We regrettably cannot remember our guide’s name as it has been a few days since this transfer from Shanghai Airport, on Maglev train & then transfer to our hotel. In short, this is the ONLY transfer to do if you are new to mainland China. Our guide met us on time after we went through immigration. Super efficient, good English, seamless transfers by train & car, welcoming & helpful! He clearly loves his job. What a great feeling getting to our hotel with such ease & professionalism. This is a no brainer 10/10.

    Rocky start but good experience

    We were waiting for 30 minutes in airport. The guide was late. It wasn’t a good first impression. But he arrived and he was quite helpful and good english. He explained to us about maglev, shanghai, and helped us with our luggages from airport, maglev and until arrived in airport. He also helped us took pictures with maglev. It’s not cheap but if you want the experience, it’s worth it.

    Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.

    How much does Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.

    Is Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 59 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel?

    +

    Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Shanghai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Full-Day Private Guided Tour of Shanghai, Shanghai City Guided Walking Tour | China's 1st and Best Rated. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Shanghai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Shanghai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel?

    +

    Included: English-speaking service; One way Maglev train transfer; Meet and greet; and One way transfer from the train station to your Shanghai hotel. Not included: Excess luggage charges (where applicable); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel include hotel pickup?

    +

    Is Arrival Transfer by High-Speed Maglev Train: Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Hotel wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
