I don't remember how long, but it was something like 3-4 hours each way, so not even close. Unless the delays at PEK are worse than usual that day.

When I've flown CA using the TWOC rule, they always knew what they were doing.
I guess CA must deal with this all the time, but SQ probably gets mostly people who are flying to and then staying within China.

Thanks for the confirmation!
