Transportation options from HGH to Hangzhou city center or PVG. Please add your name and your itinerary if you are interested in meeting other fellow FTers.
1) Taxi to Hangzhou city center, about 100 RMB ($15) for the entire party, not per person, walking from international terminal to domestic terminal (i.e., right turn after you get outside of the international terminal building), you will see taxi queue.
2) Shuttle bus, 20 RMB ($3), to Wulinmen CAAC Ticket Office or East Railway Station Line (two most popular options). The waiting hall for the shuttle bus is at Gate 10 (you can purchase ticket at Gate 14, too) Arrival Hall, on the first floor of the terminal building. Further details, see https://www.travelchinaguide.com/cit...ation.htm#hang
3) Shuttle from Hangzhou city center to PVG, 110 RMB, 3.5 hours: a) Wulinmen Ticket Office Central Hangzhou to PVG: (5:30, 6:10, 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00)
b) Hangzhou Dragon Sports Center to PVG, 110 RMB, (7:00, 8:30, 10:30, 12:30, 14:30, 16:00 ). Further details, see https://traveladept.com/bus-pudong-hangzhou/
4) Train from Hangzhou East station to Shanghai Hongqiao; less than 100 RMB (~1 hr); then you can take Subway Line #2 to PVG, ~10 RMB and 2 hrs; or shuttle bus (Airport Line #1), about 1 hr, 30 RMB ($4.5), every 15 - 25 minutes. The Hangzhou East ticketing windows are located on 1st Floor, EAST Area of the station. Please allow 20-30 minutes for walking to 2nd floor departure, and security check. The frequency of Hangzhou-Hongqiao trains is as good as that of subways in many US cities.
5) Getting cash at HGH The international terminal at HGH (where you arrive) only has an exchange vendor with hefty fees that is open limited hours. However, the adjacent domestic terminal has a bank ATM. To get to the entrance of the domestic terminal, exit the international terminal and keep walking right, past the taxi stand. Then enter and take the escalator to the second floor. The bank ATM will be on your left, next to the escalator.
6 Getting TWOV without issues The advice is to print out your itinerary, hotel reservation, etc., to speed up the procedure at the entry point in China. At SFO, the check-in agents were clueless, so be prepared to get there very early and fight for your boarding passes. Please read the last few pages on this thread for first-hand experiences. Good luck. There is a thread on FT for further details. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/china...hread-231.html

Travel information for Beijing and airport:
Beijing will have 2 hubs starting Sept 30,2019. PEK (Beijing Capital International Airport) is original main hub and will continue for Star Alliance flights and Cathay Pacific (including subsidiary Cathay Dragon Air). PKX (Beijing Daxing International Airport, will debut Sept 30, 2019) planned for airlines of the SkyTeam alliance and One World Alliance (AA, BA, etc. except Cathay Pacific) will be relocated to the new airport. Most flyers taking advantage of this China OJ deal will continue fly through PEK. Some people who use positioning flights through Beijing using non-Star Alliance airlines need to make sure you are flying into PEK, or else need 2hr ground transportation from PKX to PEK.
PEK allows TWOV within 24hr to stay inside security zone airside. This is more convenient for immediate turn than Shanghai-PVG, which force all passengers to exit immigration and customs, then re-check in from land side, even if you have immediate turn within 24hr.

A little nervous here...they just removed my SFO-HKG leg (UA 869), even though the flight hasn't been canceled. Booked for 9/7, LAS-SFO, SFO-HKG, HKG-HGH. UA 869 departs at 13:10, so 1:21 doesn't violate any MCT rules. The E+ seats I reserved are now available as well...
Now I see this message:
Inbound is SFO-LAX-YYZ.
Obviously I'd rather not call. There is a 50/50 chance I'll be taking the LAX-YYZ portion, but no need to mention that now.
Since the flight that's been removed (UA 869) is still operating, and still bookable now, I'm not sure why there's been a "modification." Any advice for my call? Would sending a message over twitter help?
Thanks for your time and help!

I've been waiting to hear from them for a couple of hours over Twitter but if I don't hear back by the time I get home I'll call.
You've put my mind at ease sfsouthbay!

Update:
I didn't hear back after sending a private message over Twitter about 5 hours ago so I decided to call.
Just as sfsouthbay said, in a quick phone call they reinstated the UA 869 flight - the whole phone call took less than 4 minutes. They didn't say why it disappeared and I didn't ask.
At least it's back on there!

Update:
I didn't hear back after sending a private message over Twitter about 5 hours ago so I decided to call.
Just as sfsouthbay said, in a quick phone call they reinstated the UA 869 flight - the whole phone call took less than 4 minutes. They didn't say why it disappeared and I didn't ask.
At least it's back on there!

UA actually just left me a message this morning about the cancellation of my HGH-SFO leg booked under this fare for next April. I plan to research my options before calling them back and rerouting (I'm currently thinking PVG-GUM-HNL(23h stop)-Mainland but we'll see if they go for that).

Hi guys,
I am not familiar with the UA rules, so I am looking at a tix that would either be on NH metal or UA metal on the return legs, does that matter for PQM on UA? as long as it is 016 stock I am set like a jet right?

A UA agent called me a few times regarding an upgrade issue while I was out country last week. She finally talked to me about this OJ trip today (Saturday). I am very sure that she could check the price of the ticket, etc. There is nothing wrong to call United if you encounter any issues related to your reservation(s). Cheers.
They called me a second time to ask me to call in and rebook. We decided to extend the trip a bit more (we have 10-year visas) so I had them rebook me a few days later for CTU-SFO-IAH-IAD-YYZ. I didn't try pushing for them to cover the HGH-CTU leg since we wanted a stop-over in CTU and I doubted that ticketing would have gone for that. On a lark I did ask if, given the inconvenience, she could book the CTU-SFO as a W fare so we could use GPUs. That gave her a good laugh (in other words, NO).

It is a very nice find. The price of your itinerary has been jumped to $584, unfortunately. This itinerary has to end at YVR, but can be originated from many other US cities such as RDU ($328), LAS ($334), SAN ($340), BWI ($389), BTV ($329), BOS ($329), BDL ($329), PVG ($379), EWR ($455), PHL ($385), MCO ($404), MIA ($409), MCI ($414), IAH ($419), DEN ($469), and IAD ($489). Here is a google link for these prices. You can get a lower price for a different set of dates for your originating city. Happy hunting.

I have a similar question to the poster below me... If I'm flying NRT-LAX-YVR my bags will come out at LAX to clear customs, right? I plan on flying LAX-ATL on another airline instead of continuing on to YVR.
