Just returned Sunday from ICN through PVG to EWR
Only a landing card is required (no entry visa for InTransit)
ALL bags must be claimed & rechecked
2 tremendous terminals about a half mile apart with
a shuttle bus to do the elevated loop (easily done)
Very comfortable "Shanghai Lounge" in T2 with many
nice amenities & pleasant food & drink offerings
Wide array of seating arrangements & free wireless
but some site blocking (mostly on sending)
Highly recommend utilizing PVG for transfers with
sufficient connection time (not for short turns)
Great selection of shopping & food service options
2 mirror image hotels between the terminals
Happy to answer any PMs
