The lowest fare we are currently showing is £302, on a Monday departure. Airfares change through the day, so search your dates for the exact price.
Should I book one-way or round-trip for London to Shanghai?
Domestic fares are usually priced per leg, so two one-ways often cost about the same as a round-trip and keep your return date flexible. Round-trip is worth choosing when you want a single PNR for both legs, and eligible coupons like FLYX20 apply either way.
Which airlines should I consider for London to Shanghai?
Cathay Pacific (21 flights, from £519), Turkish Airlines (19 flights, from £664), Lufthansa (17 flights, from £597), Air China (15 flights, from £402), Qatar Airways (15 flights, from £608). Compare fare type, baggage and refundability — the cheapest airline is not always the best value for your dates.
