Shanghai to Istanbul (PVG-IST): nonstop upgrade & award space

Turkish Airlines and China Eastern Airlines fly nonstop between Shanghai (PVG) and Istanbul (IST), roughly 20 times a week.

Departure and arrival times are local at their own airport, so an arrival can fall on a different local date than the departure; the duration column is the true elapsed flying time. A dash means the airline has not filed that value in the schedule data we hold. Aircraft are IATA equipment codes as filed, and can change up to departure.
