I'm entirely on Air China, so if the above comments are correct, it sounds like we should be able to have our luggage checked through.
Now for the question: I searched and found a number of "layover tours" available for people connecting in Beijing. I thought one of these might make sense if the timing works out. Does anyone have any experience with these?
Beijing is pretty easy to do on your own. That having been said, an official tour might increase your odds of being allowed to leave the airport (not an issue if you have a visa).
