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.

Very new to reading through something like this. I've never done a mileage run before and this intrigues me. I am just wondering, for example on the 162.63 fare above, what are the mileage earnings? I thought 016 ticket stock earned just based on price paid, no? Just very curious over here.

Got it, thanks for responses. I don't fly often enough to care about status but have been looking at points/miles for redeeming vacation flights. Being IAH based, United made most sense. (not set yet) Been researching recently. It appears a "Traditional" mileage run would be a good deal on another *A carrier and credit to MileagePlus (assuming fare bucket earns anything).

It's not the same as doing this with DL as some of their partners offer 100% MQM on heavily discounted economy flights. 50% is better than nothing, but I can't think of any discounted economy fare that gets more than 50% with *A. If you know of one, let me know!

Flying ORD - HKG - NKG in a few weeks. Will bags be through checked to the final destination? Also, will I need to leave the secured area to transfer?
Thanks in advance and be safe to those flying these tickets in the near future!

I had to call United to change my flights due to a schedule change today. The agent mentioned how cheap the ticket was. I called United before (in the past 2-3 years) for applying a regional premier upgrade certificate for some of the OJ run flights or schedule changes. There were many chances that United agents knews how cheap my tickets were. But no action was taken immediately until recently. Hopefully, the deal may come back in the future.

I have booked my trip; thanking mpiotrow’s encouragement! I will return from Chengdu (extra $22 versus from PVG). This will be saved from less cost for train. Hope that more people will join the journey. https://www.google.com/flights#flt=B...03*2.USD.43303
Denver passengers get the best deal (matching my itinerary to visit giant panda), for $279.

My GUM-HKG flight on Oct 26 has been cancelled. This route will end sooner (Oct. 14). I am thinking of changing xxx-HNL-GUM-HKG-XIY to xxx-HNL-SFO-CTU because I will return from CTU. Hope that United will let me change it this way. Otherwise, I will cancel the trip with full refund.

Called in and clarified what the change policy was. Agent said they were able to change the dates of travel +/- 7 days and change legs but cannot change departure/arrival airports. So I don't think changing an OJ into a RT is possible.
However, I was able to move my flights earlier by a few days in order to catch the very last GUM HKG flight on the 14th. They were also OK with an extended stopover in HKG.
