Hi all,
After going through most of this thread I remain a little confused, as there seems to be some contradictory info.
I am flying PVG to BKK on either TG or China Eastern (it's an award ticket). I then plan to continue on to USM on Bangkok Airways with a revenue ticket. I do not plan to check bags.
I am just trying to figure out:
-- With no checked baggage, but with a PG boarding pass, can I stay in transit / airside? Or do I still have to clear customs and immigration at BKK and check in landside? This is the part that various threads offer different responses, especially since PG changed their interlining policy in 2016 - regardless of whether one has bags to check or not.
-- Assuming that I DO have to clear customs and go landside, how much time should I allow between the Thai / China Eastern flights and the Bangkok Airways flight? TG gets into BKK at 11:05am and MU gets into BKK at 12:30pm. It is a Thursday in August. I am aware that PVG is subject to delays, too.
Any help would be much appreciated; thanks in advance!
Joe
