It sounds like we will need to collect baggage upon arrival at T2, pass through some sort of Immigration/security check, walk with our baggage to T1, and recheck with MU.

I am a US citizen and my husband and Indonesian citizen, but it looks like visas will not be needed for either of us since we are in transit.

We have a 5hr 40min layover in PVG, which seems like it should be plenty of time.

Is this right? Anything I should be aware of or concerned about? Thanks for any advice!
That plan looks fine, 5 hours is sufficient.

Both of you will be eligible for 24 hour transit without visa allowing you to enter the country to make the transfer between T2 and T1.
