China Eastern is poised to increase its flights to China from France by inaugurating nonstop flights connecting Shanghai and Marseille starting July 2, marking its premiere on this particular route.

The flight schedule will be as follows;

RouteFlightDate
Marseille

Shanghai
Shanghai Airlines
FM872
Tuesdays, Fridays & Sundays
(Starting July 2, 2024)

Featuring a flight duration of roughly 12 hours, travelers will have access to in-flight WiFi services, establishing a fresh benchmark within the domestic aviation sector.

Marseille, France’s lively Mediterranean harbor city and the nation’s second-largest urban hub distinguished as the entrance to Provence’s cerulean coastline, has cultivated a distinct relationship with Shanghai since their establishment of sister city ties in 1973. With the introduction of nonstop flights, voyagers bid farewell to the necessity of transiting through an intermediary location.

In further enhancing convenience, China Eastern Airlines revealed a specialized transfer hub at Shanghai’s bustling Hongqiao Railway Station in January 2024. This pioneering initiative underscores the airline’s dedication to seamless travel, providing passengers journeying from various regions of the country to Shanghai by high-speed rail with a trouble-free transition to their flights.

As an illustration, visitors destined for Marseille can expeditiously finalize check-in formalities and deposit their baggage upon arrival at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, enabling them to effortlessly explore the city before making their way to Shanghai Pudong International Airport in the evening for security screenings and direct boarding.
