I can't speak for everyone else here, but the reason I support going up the night before doesn't really hinge on the risk of misconnecting, but rather the fact that PEK layovers are not fun. That having been said, the Hilton and Langham are okay places to kill time, and both are walkable from T3.

Thanks. I don't mind a reasonable layover, as we'll have access to the Air China lounge. It's decent enough.
