Maybe before departure let KA/CX make a note in your PNR saying you are coming in from MNL on CZ, OLCI and print the boarding pass (as of last time I travelled there CAN doesn't support mobile boarding pass). After you disembark make you APEC card visible to the immigration officials and you should be cleared through the diplomat lane in no time. If you have some spare change in CNY (or WeChat wallet) I recommend you take the Metro one station from Airport north to Airport south.

Thanks. I have checked in for the flight and am trying to figure out how to print the boarding pass now (am in Manila, in a hotel, should be fine). I do have RMB with me so buying a metro ticket is no problem (except I thought it might take longer than getting on a bus, but if you think its faster I will do it). I don't read Chinese (I speak a couple of words only) so any kind of interaction is usually problematic!
