Return a Maglev Ticket

If the maglev can not operate due to some irresistible force or mechanical failures, the staff will guide you to refund your ticket at designated windows.

If you want to cancel your maglev trip for personal reasons and haven't got your ticket punched, you can return it at the window and on the day it is issued.
 

Maglev & Metro Pass

A Shanghai Maglev & Metro Pass is issued for the convenience of passengers who need to take both maglev and subway in the city in the same day. There are two types of pass:
1. Maglev Single Trip + Metro One-day Pass: It costs CNY 55 and allows passengers to take a single maglev trip (economy class) and unlimited subway rides within 24 hours;
2. Maglev Round Trip + Metro One-day Pass: It costs CNY 85 and contains a round-trip on maglev (economy class) and unlimited rides on the subway within 24 hours.
Please note that both versions of the Pass will be valid for 24 hours from the first use either at a maglev or subway station. Each card can be used by one passenger. Also, the pass should be used before the expiration date marked on it, otherwise it will automatically turn invalid.

 Refund of Maglev & Metro Pass
The pass can be fully refunded if it is not used, but this service is only available at the maglev stations of Pudong International Airport and Longyang Rd.. Once used on either maglev or subway, it cannot be refunded. The card will not be recycled after use and passengers can keep it as a souvenir.

From Shanghai PVG to the Shanghai Tower
Hello good morning,
I arrive Saturday morning (17/8) at 07:45 at PVG from Bali DPS.
I'd like to take the Maglev to Shanghai and visit the Shanghai Tower (or go to the Shanghai Aquarium).
After arriving in Shanghai Longyang Road Station, how do I continue?
Is it easy to find a ticket office and the train itself at Pudong Airport?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Tobias

Most tourists visit the tower across Huangou River on the Bund in the west side of the river, also you can go to the east side to visit it and climb it.
From Longyang Road to the Bund, you can take metro line 18 to Changyi, then transfer to line 14 to Yu Garden, take Exit 6, walk northward to the crossing, then turn right and walk eastward to the Bund.
To the tower, you can take metro line 2 to Lujiazui, take exit 2 and walk westward across a footbridge, you can see the tower.
It's easy to find the ticket office and train at the airport.

You are not buying an assigned seat. You will find yourself a seat on the maglev.
