We are flying from Detroit, through Narita, and scheduled to arrive in Beijing at 9:30 PM on Thursday Oct 23rd.

Also what would be appropriate for a tip for the driver?

Thanks.

If you're flying into T2 (NW) and get off the plane quickly, you should be able to make it to the lobby in under 30 minutes. For T3 (NH and JL), you should allow an extra 10-15 minutes.

In both areas, you'll want to look for a sign with your name on it as you emerge from baggage claim.

I do not tip drivers, but a small gift like a candy bar might be a nice touch if you have a good experience.
