Toronto–Shanghai and booking from Canada
Toronto Pearson lists flight MU208 to Shanghai. This confirms the service and provides information for a particular flight. It does not establish a weekly frequency for the entire season.
Use China Eastern’s Canadian website to check flights, prices, and connections. Compare airport codes and local dates at every stage. Shanghai’s airports include Pudong (PVG) and Hongqiao (SHA); an airport change may require ground transportation.
