When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in November around $205 and peak in August near $330, 61% dearer, across the 12 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Spring Airlines nonstop and takes about 5 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip. At $205 for 2,891 km each way, that works out to about $35 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $43 per 1,000 km typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 4 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bangkok, this fare ranks 2nd — 13% above the $182 from Manila. The best time to be in Bangkok: Nov–Feb.

Good to know
SHA → BKK, answered.
Is $205 a good price for Shanghai to Bangkok?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $275 round-trip. At $205 you're 25% below that, which we rate good for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Shanghai to Bangkok?
Across 12 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Bangkok are Nov–Feb — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book SHA → Bangkok?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 12 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Shanghai to Bangkok?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Spring Airlines). The outbound leg runs around 5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
