Just went through the PVG transit nightmare again a couple days ago. It's a confusing, unfriendly, and downright stupid set of procedures. You still have to get you're luggage and go through customs. Then you go upstairs, wait in line for your ticket, go through security a couple times more, and then they'll go through your carry-on on the gangway. Total time - 80 mins. Lounge - who knows ! I barely made my flight to SFO. wj
