When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in January around $1,336 and peak in October near $2,212, 66% dearer, across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 24.5 hours outbound, on a 28-night trip — ticketed under ANA, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,419 for 19,617 km each way, that works out to about $36 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $42 per 1,000 km typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 11 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Buenos Aires, this fare ranks 2nd — 12% above the $1,264 from Delhi. It is also the 2nd cheapest of the 7 routes of similar length we watch out of Shanghai. The best time to be in Buenos Aires: Oct–Dec · Mar–May.

Good to know
SHA → EZE, answered.
Is $1,419 a good price for Shanghai to Buenos Aires?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $1,910 round-trip. At $1,419 you're 26% below that, which we rate good for this route.
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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Shanghai to Buenos Aires?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under ANA. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
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.
