Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Dulles Intl. Airport to Shanghai Pudong Airport last minute?
Booking your journey from Dulles Intl. Airport to PVG at the last minute could save you a pretty penny if you strike it lucky and find a good deal. However, tickets don’t usually get cheaper as the date of departure nears. If you procrastinate, flights could also be sold out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you don’t want to hedge your bets, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. Don’t forget that some of the biggest bargains can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its airfares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.

There are two — Pudong Intl. Airport (PVG) and Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA). Both are excellent choices for those journeying from Sterling to Shanghai. If you pick Pudong Intl.
