Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Jan is the cheapest for SHA → EZE. Best time to be there: Oct–Dec · Mar–May.
Fares bottom out in January around $1,373 and peak in May near $1,732 — a $359 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 24.5 hours outbound, on a 11-night trip — ticketed under ANA, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,373 for 19,617 km each way, that works out to about $35 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $40 typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Of the 10 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Buenos Aires, this is the cheapest right now — 5% under the next one, Guangzhou. It is also the 3rd cheapest of the 7 routes of similar length we watch out of Shanghai.

SHA → EZE, answered.
Is $1,373 a good price for Shanghai to Buenos Aires?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $1,600 round-trip and this fare is 14% under it, about $227. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Shanghai to Buenos Aires?
Across 6 months of cached-fare history, Jan comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Buenos Aires are Oct–Dec · Mar–May — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book SHA → Buenos Aires?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 6 months of cached fares, Jan comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Shanghai to Buenos Aires?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under ANA. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). 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.
