I'm a contrarian when it comes to packing light, I pack heavy. I pull out a freshie out of my suitcase on day 19.

That being said, I feel that I need to change for my upcoming China trip, mostly to handle irregular airline ops easily. So I appreciate this thread!!!

In genreal, can one expect 24 hour turnaround? If not, that's pretty limiting for non-hotel services, unless I want to make it a priority my first morning in town. Most of my stays are 3 nights, with early morning departures, except right at the beginning and end..
