Hello,

I will be transiting in Changsha for 6 hours. I will arrive internationally on China Southern from Frankfurt and transfer to a domestic flight with China Southern to Shenzhen 6 hours later. All on one ticket.

The transit is during the daytime (not overnight). I know on that China Southern is providing Hotels on longer layover, and I believe if the Transit would have been in Guangzhou I would qualify, but Changsha does not seem to used regularly as a hub, actually I can not even find Information about Transit in Changsha on CZ's Website, while there is Information for CAN, Wuhan, Urumqi and so...


Anway, some questions remain:

LOUNGE:
I have Elite+ Membership, and I initially just thought I would pass Immigration, do the paperwork etc and spend the remaining time in the Lounge. That said, I can imagine the domestic Lounge in Changsha is not a nice place to stay longer, does anyone has used it and can give recommendations?

AIRPORT HOTEL:
Another Option would be to ask at Arrival if the Airline Provides a Hotel, and if not just take a own one for a use of 4 hours or so. I understand Hotels are not terribly expensive there, so I am willing to pay, that said I am unwilling to spend 2 hours in a taxi just to reach a Hotel i am going to stay 1 hour in, so the question is: Is there any Airport Hotel in Changsha, ideally on site or a short drive away, that is recommandable? The Internet is very misleading, there seems that there used ot be one at the old terminal which is closed, but that's all I could find nearby. Ctrip also offers Hotels, but they're pretty far away from the Airport, too.

Any help from travellers that have been there is appreciated.
