When this route gets cheap.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 15.5 hours outbound, on a 21-night trip — ticketed under Qatar Airways, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $926 for 7,951 km each way, that works out to about $58 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 12 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Tel Aviv, this fare ranks 9th — 1.8× the $526 we hold from New York. For context, the middle fare among the 37 routes of similar length we watch out of Shanghai is $771. We have 1 month of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage. Fare history here is still too short to name a cheap season. The best time to be in Tel Aviv: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.

Good to know
SHA → TLV, answered.
How far in advance should I book SHA → Tel Aviv?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. Our guide Why flight prices change covers the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Shanghai to Tel Aviv?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Qatar Airways. 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 15 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.
