Cr*p! I totally missed that part! We are flying SEA-NRT-PEK on NH. <72 hours in PEK then on to KIX. We are screwed, right? Or does the fact that we are only connecting in Japan make it ok since we originate in the US? Does that brief, 1 hour-ish transit in Japan and the fact we are then going there for 2 weeks after PEK means we need an actual visa as the last point we touch before arriving in PRC is Japan? We are Canadian, not that it matters. I didn't even think of that when I routed us through NRT. I just wanted to fly the NH 787!
