1. Are there Star Alliance lounges in the international transit part of the PVG and PEK airports?
2. What are the operating hours for Star Alliance lounges in PVG and PEK
3. Which of the lounges is more comfortable with amenities like showers?
I cannot comment on PVG, because I have not flown out of PVG much on international flights.
At PEK T3, there is the Air China Business Lounge. I am not sure there are showers there. There is a paid lounge offers shower near gate 30ish.
SQ uses a different lounge than the Air China lounge. It is a contract lounge (Beijing Capital Premier Lounge). I did not see showers there.
