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.

Been observing for quite awhile, finally contemplating trying this out, but the OJ would be b/w HGH and PEK. What are the options available for this leg? Most of what I found in this thread are either for HGH to PVG or HKG to PEK. Are most flying between HGH and PEK on other carriers? A little hesitant to try such a distance as a first timer.

There is HSR between HGH and PEK. Travel time is about 4.5h and it'll be both cheaper and more convenient than flying. That's probably the best way.

I haven't seen any deals that begin in the US and terminate in the US. All of them seem to require booking something that ends up in Canada. That's not to say you couldn't book something like this link, though, and whether or not you decide to get on the flight from EWR-YOW at the end is up to you...

Now I have to do my research on the visa, TWOV, and PVG-HGH travel considerations.
Thanks again!

Great. I am glad that you will do the mr on the same dates. I will be on the later IAD-SFO-PVG flights. We will be on the same planes from HGH-HKG-GUM-HNL. I will fly to DEN from HNL. Once boarding HNL-DEN, I will switch to DEN-EWR-YYZ and a separate ticket back to IAD. For this itinerary, you do not need a Chinese visa (but do go to airport earlier than usual). PVG and HGH are in the same TWOV zone. Good luck.
Edit: check wiki page of this thread. Go to downtown Shanghai, the Bund, in particular, take a subway to Hongqiao Railway station next morning, high speed train to Hangzhou East station; inside the station, looking for shuttle bus to Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport.

I haven't seen any deals that begin in the US and terminate in the US. All of them seem to require booking something that ends up in Canada. That's not to say you couldn't book something like this link, though, and whether or not you decide to get on the flight from EWR-YOW at the end is up to you...

Not as exciting $440 from BOS

A few dollars less and less miles. EWR isn't too bad to get back to BOS.
