They speak no English. Will there be any customer service people to help them out? Is there anything they need to know? They have three hours between flights, so I'm not that worried about time. I also think there's a good chance of a Chinese speaking fellow passenger on their inbound flight also making a transfer who could help them out, but any advice would be appreciated.
