Location insights
Hongqiao runs Terminal 1, the compact older building, and the far larger Terminal 2 fused into the Hongqiao Transportation Hub beside the high-speed rail station. China Eastern, Shanghai Airlines and Spring Airlines anchor the banks, and business travelers make up close to two thirds of traffic. Mornings push domestic business departures through T2, midday holds steady executive dwell, and evenings fill arrivals and the metro interchange. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
Departures and check-in fill in the early-morning and late-afternoon banks. Book those hours and your frequency against business travelers climbs for the same budget.
Gates and the gate holdrooms hold seated, relaxed travelers for 60–90 minutes, long windows where dwell, not rush, does the work.
Arrivals fills as long-haul flights land in banks, high-value international passengers with time to read. Swap creative to match who just arrived.
Location intelligence summary
Shanghai Hongqiao Airport doesn't have a rush hour; it has flight banks. Departures peak in the morning, long-haul arrivals land in waves, and between them travelers dwell for 60–90 minutes with phones often stowed. The buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the banks when your audience is captive, skip the dead hours.

A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Shanghai Hongqiao Airport’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
