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. ^
My friend will be in from SYD on QF at 1830 making an overnight then out to LHR w VS the next morning at 1040. She lives in OZ but has an Irish passport. The way I read things this would be a non preferred passport giving her the opportunity to leave the airport (to hotel) for less than 24 hours? Both tickets are confirmed w miles but separate reservations. Any chance of hassle with QF before leaving SYD? Wondering if a $30 visa would be the way to go? Plenty of time to handle that as travel isn't until Dec.
