One flight is an anecdote, not analysis

What dates and how do you book them? I would be seriously interested.

I would lend you my Shanghai Metro Card if you promise to post it back after

It was on WEBJET ..
Will confirm when Slingshot lets me back in..
Well the cheapest I can find on Webjet is for Mid June at $398 each way via Shanghai with China Eastern, with a 9h layover (05:55 - 14:45) out :( and a 19h (04:55 - 00:20) layover coming back.
But 19h would be OK, they will give you a free transit visa.
You could have an early breakkie at the airport, then ride the Maglev (starts at 7am, if you can wait till 9am you can have a 430km/h ride as opposed to the slow 300km/h normal ride) and then the Metro into the city.
Walk the Bund, go up one of their tall towers, museums, lots of possibilities.
I can also recommend a few restaurants for you.
You will have to take a taxi back to the airport for your 00:20 departure and then you can have a nice sleep on the flight to AKL.
Webjet says AIR is $2,437 out, $3,330 back, but AIR website says $859 & $799 so maybe Webjet not totally reliable?
