Flights from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Shanghai Allow Boarding 15 Minutes before Departure

Traveling from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Shanghai is about to become even more convenient. Starting at 00:00 on June 18, Juneyao Air canceled the traditional check-in deadline for flights operated by the airline from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. Passengers without baggage to be checked only need to arrive at the boarding gate 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure.

However, passengers with baggage to be checked or in need of special assistance need to arrive at the check-in counter 40 minutes before the scheduled departure to complete the necessary procedures.

It should be noted that Juneyao Air’s cancellation of the traditional check-in deadline for flights from Chengdu Tianfu International Airport to Shanghai’s two airports applies only to flights operated by the airline and is not applicable to codeshare flights.
