The Bund's colonial-era buildings face the futuristic Pudong skyline across the Huangpu River. Walk the promenade at night for iconic Shanghai views. The Shanghai Tower, Oriental Pearl, and Jin Mao offer observation decks.
Tree-lined streets with European architecture, boutique shops, and excellent cafes. This is expat Shanghai at its best—perfect for wandering, brunch, and people-watching. The area retains 1920s character.

M on the Bund pioneered modern Shanghai dining. Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet offers 20-course multimedia dining. Traditional Shanghainese cuisine includes xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) at Din Tai Fung and hairy crab in season.

Business Class
Always check the specific aircraft type before booking — the A350-900 business class is a different world from the older 777-300ER or A330 product, and China Eastern doesn't always make this obvious at the point of sale. For the best experience, prioritize routes out of Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to North America or Australia, where the A350 is more consistently deployed.

Polaris
Not all 'Polaris' bookings are created equal — always check the specific aircraft type before booking, as older 767-300s and a handful of 777-200s still fly with a previous-generation angled or staggered business seat rather than true Polaris reverse-herringbone seating. For the best experience, prioritize 787-9/10 or 777-300ER aircraft, and try to route through hubs with a dedicated Polaris Lounge — Chicago O'Hare, Houston Intercontinental, Newark, San Francisco, or Los Angeles — for pre-flight dining and shower access unmatched elsewhere in United's network.

Delta One Suite
Not all Delta One cabins are created equal — the door-equipped suite is standard on the A350, A330-900neo, and retrofitted 767-400ER aircraft, but some 777s and older 767s still fly older, non-suite Delta One seating in a 2-2-2 configuration. Always check the specific aircraft type at booking, and prioritize A350 or A330-900neo routings (common on transatlantic and Asia-Pacific flights) for the true suite experience.
