Just booked an award ticket from ICN to BKK via PVG. Flying Asiana from ICN to PVG, then Thai Air from there to BKK.

Question 1: At PVG, will I have to collect bags, then check them in again like we do here in the USA? Or will they go through? I've read conflicting info.

Question 2: From what I've gathered in my limited research tonight, going from PVG to the Bund and back to PVG w/in 7 hours is do-able. Would you in the FT world agree with that? Or disagree?
