Oneworld member British Airways has drastically lowered its prices for flights to Shanghai, as long as you depart from Brussels, Madrid, or Luxembourg. A particular highlight of this deal is that luggage is included. There’s availability from September through November.
Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.
A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.
You would always first fly to London, and then continue to Shanghai on a Boeing 777. You can take 23 kg of checked luggage on all of these flights.
