Return a Maglev Ticket

If the maglev can not operate due to some irresistible force or mechanical failures, the staff will guide you to refund your ticket at designated windows.

If you want to cancel your maglev trip for personal reasons and haven't got your ticket punched, you can return it at the window and on the day it is issued.
 

Maglev & Metro Pass

A Shanghai Maglev & Metro Pass is issued for the convenience of passengers who need to take both maglev and subway in the city in the same day. There are two types of pass:
1. Maglev Single Trip + Metro One-day Pass: It costs CNY 55 and allows passengers to take a single maglev trip (economy class) and unlimited subway rides within 24 hours;
2. Maglev Round Trip + Metro One-day Pass: It costs CNY 85 and contains a round-trip on maglev (economy class) and unlimited rides on the subway within 24 hours.
Please note that both versions of the Pass will be valid for 24 hours from the first use either at a maglev or subway station. Each card can be used by one passenger. Also, the pass should be used before the expiration date marked on it, otherwise it will automatically turn invalid.

 Refund of Maglev & Metro Pass
The pass can be fully refunded if it is not used, but this service is only available at the maglev stations of Pudong International Airport and Longyang Rd.. Once used on either maglev or subway, it cannot be refunded. The card will not be recycled after use and passengers can keep it as a souvenir.

Recommended high speed rail timing from Hongqiao Railway Station to Nanjing South Station
My trip is in Dec 2024. My flight will land at 245pm in Pudong. Can I know how long does it take to clear Pudong arrival immigration? What is the recommended high speed rail timing that I should book from Hongqiao Railway station to Nanjing South Station? From airport to Hongqiao Rail station, should I take direct metro line 2 or take Maglev train?

Usually it takes 10-15 minutes if you have required documents, like return flight ticket and hotel reservation. It takes 75min to travel from the airport to Hongqiao by the maglev and metro line 2 and 1h40min only by metro line 2. Both ways are OK for you. And like I said, on weekends the direct metro line 2 is better.

To be on the safe side, the recommended Shanghai - Nanjing South train timing is after 18:00.

On weekdays, 2:45pm is not the peak time, so it won't be too crowded. On weekends, it'll be a little crowed for you. To avoid the crowd, you can directly take metro line 2 at the airport, give up the maglev, and get to Hongqiao Railway Station without a transfer, but this way takes longer time, 1h40min.
