Shanghai - Post Report Question and Answers
What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
Chicago. It's about 24 hours door to door if the connections are working. Before coronavirus, there were non-stop flights from Shanghai to SFO, LAX, Chicago, and NYC. These are almost always overnight. With the virus, airports and airlines stopped coming through except during certain days of the week. Maybe the time this posts, things will be more normal. - Nov 2020

Northeastern U.S. There are plenty of direct flights out of Beijing and Shanghai, though you can get cheaper flights that connect through Hong Kong, Canada, Dubai, or Seoul. I usually take the direct flight if I have a lot of luggage, and that takes around 13 hours. - Aug 2014
