Chinese hotels or travel agents normally refuse to bring tickets to the airport or other external location without an additional fee.

On the SHA issues:

- When you arrive at T1, the subway station of line 10 is about 300 metres to the right of the terminal when exiting. There is a covered walkway winding between the buildings to get there.

Other choices for transfer include the free "shuttle bus" driving inside the perimeter fence (luggage has to be carried inside by the passengers for security reasons) or then taxis using local roads to get to the other side of the tarmac.

- The money exchange I used to frequent at SHA T2 has closed due to lack of customers. It was hidden in the corridors linking the aiport terminal and the railway station. Not sure if other currency exchange locations exist there, T1 should still have one but with limited business hours.

T2 and T1 both have ATMs accepting foreign cards, not sure if the ATMs at the railway station do

- When buying walk-up tickets, prepare to wait for a few hours for the next available train. Might be quicker but this way you won't get disappointed as the number of travelers from SHA is huge.
