🛫 Bonus: 21-hour Shanghai layover on the return — turn it into a free day in the city. The China Eastern return routing builds in a 21-hour layover at Shanghai Pudong (PVG) between NRT and CPH. Under China’s 144-hour visa-free transit programme, holders of UK, EU, US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, NZ and Singapore passports can leave the airport, head into central Shanghai, and return for the onward flight without applying for a separate Chinese visa — provided you’re transiting to a third country (which you are, returning to Denmark). The Maglev train from PVG to Longyang Road costs ¥50 (~$7) and takes just 7 minutes at 300 km/h; from there, Metro Line 2 reaches People’s Square and the Bund. Plenty of time for the Bund waterfront skyline, Yu Garden, the French Concession, Shanghai Tower’s 119th-floor observation deck, or a proper xiaolongbao soup-dumpling dinner at Din Tai Fung or Jia Jia Tang Bao. Verify nationality eligibility on the China National Immigration Administration site before banking on it.
