Never been to PVG before and would appreciate any advice.
Is there any chance you can switch to the HKG flight? If not, I'd be inclined to roll the dice on the 4p flight, provided:
1) seats near front of plane
2) business class bag tags (or no checked luggage)
3) willingness to perform an "OJ" upon arrival at PVG
4) store travel agent or airline cancellation number in cell phone and/or ask third party to monitor your flight for you and authorize this person to cancel on your behalf in the very unlikely event your inbound flight is more than an hour behind schedule
Your goal is to make it from the airplane to the checkin counter in 35 minutes or less; aggressive, but possible.
