If we fly from PVG, is the high speed rail link open? Where is its terminus in Shanghai? sha is much closer than pvg to most parts of shanghai, including lujiazui. however, i usually fly out of pvg if i have time because i find the experience far less stressful. plus, public transit to/from pvg is pretty good. |

OK, purely from a comfort and risk management basis, i'd take the CA services on the 747s - as the aircraft are less likely to be delayed up country in some remote town earlier in the day perhaps ?
And of course, Air China is a UA Mileage Plus partner... http://www.united.com/page/article/0,1360,50614,00.html |

friday night drinks
Bob (rbAA) is arriving thursday, he's staying at Grand Hyatt in Pudong, and really the bar up at the top of the hotel is an absolute must, so please can you post here if you're keen to meet from drinks Fri night after dinner, suggest about 9pm? Reason being, Bob has to reserve a table.
The Grand Hyatt is in Jin Mao Tower, in Pudong, it is (or was) the highest hotel in the world.. last time I went there easily by taxi from the Westin. Cloud Nine is the bar, on the 87th floor: http://shanghai.grand.hyatt.com/shagh/dining.html Sean and I will join later once we get into Shanghai that evening. Cheers. |
Friday night drinks, sure. ;)
|
Fri night drinks, of course
Sounds great! Put me on the "yes" list, please. :)
|
Please put Sondra and me down. We arrive on NW 25 at 8:05Pm, so it depends how long it takes to get to the Westin, check in, then get a cab to the Hyatt.

Head count for Cloud 9 on Friday 2/20
Actually, I don't arrive in Shanghai until Friday at 11:30am from Osaka on ANA, but I will be at the Hyatt that afternoon and so far have the following confirmed and possible victims:
Confirmed: GK Sean Vulcan Sondra SeeYa KathyWdrf Mad4Miles magic111 jerrie GoingAway beaubo bseller WWBGD rbAA Possibles: None yet (or everyone else.) Sunday, after lunch, Mad4Miles and I are heading out to Hangzhou, staying at the new Hyatt there. I have to leave PVG Monday at 5:15pm, so a day trip and overnight. A Hangzhou mini-DO? |
We're having a Suzhou mini-Do on Friday, so an enterprising FTer could bracket the Shanghai weekend with the two most interesting area cities. Magic111, Jerrie, kluau88, and I are headed to the Suzhou Sheraton on arrival at PVG on Thursday night.

Did I mention I purchased my ticket the other day on my way to SIN (eh...I mean HKG). I guess I'll go to the Air China office in SFO to get my SHA-PEK ticket :)

if you do that, you"ll be paying up to 2x market value.... better off to wait till you get to sh. you could even wait till that saturday because most hotel travel agencies (+ctrip) have weekend hours. |
