Book a Helicopter Taxi in Shanghai

Skip the traffic and discover the city from above

Shanghai is one of the busiest cities in the world — a dazzling skyline, non-stop movement, and yes, often hectic traffic. Whether you’re rushing between Pudong and Hongqiao airports, heading to a business meeting in Lujiazui, or simply want to experience the city from a new perspective, booking a helicopter taxi in Shanghai is a luxurious and efficient solution.

At Taxi Bambino, we’re known for helping families and travelers book safe ground transport with child seats. But we also help connect you to air travel experiences when you want to avoid congestion and upgrade your journey — especially in megacities like Shanghai.

Why take a helicopter taxi in Shanghai?

Shanghai is vast — home to over 24 million people and a constantly growing network of roads, bridges, and tunnels. Helicopter taxis are ideal for:

• Quick transfers between airports (Pudong ⇄ Hongqiao)

• Direct routes to cities like Suzhou, Hangzhou, or Wuxi

• Luxury arrivals for corporate events or high-end travelers

• Scenic tours over the Bund, Huangpu River, and futuristic Pudong skyline

When time is critical — or you simply want to see the city from a whole new angle — the helicopter is the smartest seat in town.

What does it cost?
