At Travelmarathon, we understand that many runners prefer to arrange their flights independently for various reasons. That’s why we offer complete flexibility: if you decide to book your flights on your own, there will be no issue. However, if you’d like assistance, we’re more than happy to help you arrange them and include them in your travel package according to your preferences.
If you prefer to add flights to your package, all we need is your departure city and preferred time frame, and we’ll find the best option suited to your needs.
The main airport for traveling to Shanghai is Pudong International Airport (PVG), located about 30 kilometers southeast of the city center. It is one of the busiest airports in Asia, featuring two main terminals and a wide range of international flights.
