Mumbai to Shanghai - Flights

Q: What are the seasonal pricing patterns for flights from Mumbai to Shanghai?

A: Seasonal pricing patterns for flights from Mumbai to Shanghai can significantly affect your travel budget. Generally, flight prices tend to be higher during peak travel seasons, such as summer (June to August) and major holidays like Chinese New Year (January/February). Conversely, you may find lower fares during the shoulder seasons (March to May and September to November). Here are some tips to navigate seasonal pricing:
  • Book in advance: Try to book your flights at least 2-3 months ahead of your travel date to secure better rates.
  • Be flexible with your travel dates: If possible, consider flying on weekdays rather than weekends to find cheaper fares.
  • Monitor fare alerts: Use platforms like MakeMyTrip to set fare alerts for your desired route.

By understanding these patterns, you can plan your trip more effectively and save on airfare.

Q: What should I know about currency exchange when traveling from Mumbai to Shanghai?

A: When traveling from Mumbai to Shanghai, it's essential to be aware of the currency exchange process. The local currency in Shanghai is the Chinese Yuan (CNY). You can exchange Indian Rupees (INR) for CNY at currency exchange counters at the airport, banks, or authorized exchange services in Mumbai before your departure. However, it's often more cost-effective to exchange a small amount at the airport and then use local ATMs in Shanghai for larger withdrawals. Here are some tips for currency exchange:
  • Check the current exchange rates before you travel.
  • Notify your bank about your travel plans to avoid any issues with card usage abroad.
  • Consider using a multi-currency travel card for better rates and security.

Always keep some cash on hand for small purchases, as not all places may accept credit cards.

Q: What are the baggage allowances for international flights from Mumbai to Shanghai?

A: Baggage allowances for international flights from Mumbai to Shanghai can vary by airline, but generally, most airlines allow:
  • Economy Class: 1 piece of checked baggage weighing up to 23 kg.
  • Business Class: 2 pieces of checked baggage, each weighing up to 32 kg.
  • Carry-on baggage: 1 piece weighing up to 7-10 kg, plus a personal item (like a laptop bag).

It's crucial to check the specific baggage policy of the airline you choose, as exceeding these limits can incur additional fees. MakeMyTrip provides detailed baggage information for each airline listed on their platform, so be sure to review it before your flight.
