So I will be arriving in Beijing at PEK around 10:30 AM on a flight from Europe, my girlfriend will be landing at PEK around 1:30pm from the USA. I am trying to figure out 1. what I can do while I wait for her to arrive, 2. where we can meet up.

I saw that I have lounge access for the Air China lounges which seem to be on the second floor (departure) of Terminal 3-E, from what I can tell my flight will arrive in 3-E but on the third floor. From the maps it looks like after landing on the third floor you need to go through customs to get down to the second floor. My question, is it possible for me to access the Air China lounges as an arriving passenger? Or will I be sent straight from customs towards the APM and baggage claim?

Second question, if the lounge does not work, can anyone recommend a good place for us to designate as a meeting spot in Terminal 3?

Thanks!
