Noted. Thanks moondog.

With the chance of +12 hour delay, that's simply nuts! I pull out PLAN B.

Thanks for that info.

SO, is the T2 domestic (from CZ arrival) to T2 international (AA departure) transfer involve any shuttle bus? Or simply walk within the same terminal building?

I didn't mean to suggest that there was a high chance of this, but if you fly around China often, you will get burned eventually.

You just walk to the other end of the terminal. Not so large. You need to go upstairs for departures.

Thanks.
Looked at a map of the airport too.
Well, hate to have to spend another night at PEK just to make the connection!

IMO, if you're going to connect in PEK, spending a night there justifies it.
