Many thanks,

So the above is WRONG. Right??

"He will need to be picked up at my place on Sunday night at 9:30pm back to Pudong." <-- Right

The original sentence is clearly wrong and so is your second sentence in the post above.

You could say

He will need to be picked up at my place on Sunday night at 9:30pm for a/the 10:30 flight back to Pudong."

Please refer to Clive's post for details.
