Peak season:
The peak season for touristic activities in Shanghai tends to fall between May and November, although flying to Shanghai during this time might not be the cheapest and might leave you feeling overwhelmed by the large crowds who flock here for the Chinese festivals.
Off season:
December through February is Shanghai’s off season, and the colder winter weather ushers in much thinner crowds and may also see you finding cheaper flight prices. March and April are the shoulder months for travel in Shanghai, which might mean that you’ll be able to find the lowest rates on both accommodation and flight prices.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Shanghai, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, July is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 28.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 4.0 C).
The best time to book a flight to Shanghai might be between March and May, as long as you’re avoiding the Easter peak period. You may also want to consider booking a cheap flight to Shanghai from late September to early November, but hotel rates might be a little more expensive during this time of the year. If you’re not into crowds, try and avoid the Chinese New Year (late January or early February), May Holidays (during the first week of May), and National Day (which falls on the first week of October every year) since tourist attractions are crammed full on these days. Whichever dates you pick for your flight to Shanghai, make sure you book them well in advance to avoid any late booking penalties.

They changed my flight but didn't notify the other carrier. I can't do online check-in and had to wait 30 min to get it all sort out at the counter.
