I have been traveling between Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo for the past 2 weeks and now this weekend will be on my way back to London.
Here is my itinerary
22.11.15 JL21 HND - PEK (Terminal 3) arriving 12:20
22.11.15 KA993 PEK (Terminal 3) - HKG leaving 18:30 (and then onto a BA flight to London)
On its surface I have plenty of time to transfer. The issue is that my Chinese visa just expried, so won't be able to leave the airside to pick up my luggage from JL21 flight. How should I manage it? The suitcase is not large, but over the legal size for me to take as carry-on.
Please note that JL flight was booked separately, so I won't able to check-in from HND to LHR.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I posted this in the master twov posting so you should be fine
Just for anybody who smokes and transiting beijing, the smoking rooms are now closed permanently. Was granted 24 hour twov to go outside the terminal to smoke, immigration officer was fluent in english and said they grant it with more than four hours between flights. Unfortunately it was 28 and snowing outside, but had enough time to go into beijing and get something to eat in Wangfujing Snack Street as i had an 8 hr conex.
