Taxes and fees flying from Shanghai to Shenzhen are 200rmb (more if over 800KM). Shanghai to Hong Kong are $355HKD.
Cheapest ticket to Shenzhen is ~400 rmb. Cheapest ticket to Hong Kong is around 700 rmb. Cheapest ticket to Shenzhen is plentiful. To Hong Kong is not so.
What are you talking about? Both Juneyao and Spring sell PVG-HKG for y100 (plus a boatload of taxes/fees) on a daily basis. Your HKG/SZX comparison is meaningless.
