I've a similiar question regarding this. I did use the search-function, but it seems that there are also contradicting information available.

In two weeks time I've the following itinerary upcoming: ZRH-(LX/F)-PVG-(OZ/C)-ICN-(OZ/C)-SYD. According to the transit visa regulations I do not need a visa for PVG as long as I've a confirmed flight within the next 24/48 hours; perfectly for me as my flight to ICN leaves within four hours after my arrival in PVG.

However, what's about my luggage? LX in ZRH will certainly be able to interline and tag the bags through to SYD, but will it help in PVG? In another thread on the LX forum a user posted that "Only the LX/NZ connections are NOT requiring to pick up you bags and check them in again in PVG. For all other international connections you have to do it US style". Does this still hold true? So in the end it doesn't matter if the bags are tagged trough and after immigration I have to wait for my bags and pick them up so that they can be rechecked on the departure level?

Sorry for asking, but it's my first time doing an international transit in PVG...
