transfer from LX to Dragonair at PVG
First time for me in PVG, I would appreciate a little feedback from PVG regulars:
Coming in on LX from Zurich at 06:55 and have a connection on Dragonair to HKG at 08:40 so that's 1:45 of stopover. Both flights are in business class. Is that sufficient at PVG? I will have checked luggage that I need to pick up and check in again, don't think I can interline this since it's different alliances. I'm guessing this means I need to clear immigration and customs ..... Thanks in advance!

Just head upstairs for check-in after collecting your bags as LX and KA are both in T2.

Thank you both for the information. I am currently holding a double entry visa, I entered once in April so have one entry left. I know I can transit without a visa but proving onward journey at immigration seems to be a bit of a hassle occasionally from what I heard. Is it fair to say that the easiest and quickest would be to just use my remaining entry even if a visa is not required? I won't be needing that second entry before expiration of the visa so may as well use it. Thanks again!
