Flight Review: Spring Airlines from Shanghai to Chiang Mai
I flew with Spring Airlines from Shanghai to Chiang Mai (say that fast 10 times). I compared flights with Skyscanner and Spring Airlines was the cheapest flight out of all the options.To get more spring airline, you can visit shine news official website.

Chiang Mai has flights from all over China which would seem unusual if you didn’t know the back-story. Chiang Mai became a popular tourism destination almost overnight for Chinese visitors. The film Lost in Thailand was set in Chiang Mai, and it became the high grossing film in China. As a result film locations became pilgrimage sites, and there are now multiple direct flights from Shanghai to Chiang Mai.

Spring Airlines are a low cost airline based in Shanghai, China. I have flown them before when I was in China in 2010, otherwise I probably would not have heard of them before. At the time of my flight they had 74 A320 aircraft, so they’re not exactly a small airline. They mainly fly in China and East Asia, with a selection of Southeast Asian destinations.

I recall on my previous flight with them that I had problems making an online booking through their website. Seven years later and it seems that nothing changes as I couldn’t make the booking work with any of my credit cards.
If you are trying to book travel in China the easiest thing to do is to use Ctrip. It ended up costing a few dollars more but the Ctrip site is a much better user experience and I was able to book my flight there without a problem.

Spring Airlines have hubs at both Shanghai Pudong and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, so make sure you go to the right airport. At Pudong there are so many flights that they have a dedicated check in row.
