I have a question; for "non-preferred" nationalities transitting in PVG, does the 24 hour rule mean:

1) You have to stay in the airport (so, e.g. you can't check into a hotel since you're not allowed to leave the airport premises)
2) You can go downtown and get a hotel for the night.

Is it 1 or 2?

Curious, because TIMATIC on Delta's website seems to indicate 2 while the Chinese official page I found seems to indicate 1, but in both cases the wording is too vague to rely on.

Also, for a 3h10' transfer on one ticket on MU in PVG... would we have to check-in again? I can pick up my checked-in luggage, that's not a problem, but I'd rather have a thru boarding pass if possible. Does anyone know?


Thanks in advance. ^
