Connection buffer

Even within the same transport hub, do not treat this as an immediate connection. A three-hour gap after a scheduled international landing is a practical starting point, with more time for Terminal 1 or checked luggage.

SHA to AOH FAQ

Is Hongqiao Railway Station inside Hongqiao Airport?

They are separate facilities within the wider Hongqiao transport hub. A connection still requires terminal navigation, walking or local transport, and railway security.

Can I walk from Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2 to the railway station?

Official indoor connections are available within the hub, but the route and walking time should be checked on arrival. Terminal 1 requires separate planning.

How much time should I allow?

Allow a robust buffer after the flight lands. Baggage delivery, terminal position, navigation, and station security matter more than the short map distance.
