You mean you will take two dogs along with you to China? But dogs are not allowed to take into the compartment. Have you inquired the airlines that you used? They agreed with you?

Mr.Shan replied:
Hi, I think you could leave from Pudong at around 17:00 after all of the checks. Then, please catch the shuttle bus from Pudong to Hongqiao directly. It takes about one hour by taxi or bus on the way. It seems the time should be okay that you could catch the flight~

Jul. 2,2009 01:57
Ms.Stella(China) replied:
Hello, Mr. RAJ, could you tell me which Marriott Hotel you will stay. As I know, there are three hotels
with the name of Marriott. They are
JW Marriott Shanghai Tomorrow Square
Courtyard By Marriott Pudong Hotel
Shanghai Marriott Hotel Hongqiao
I guess you mean the third one, right> If yes, you can adopt the following way to get there:
Take the Airport Line 6 from Pudong airport to Huashan Road stop. Then, at Huashan Road stop, you can transfer to the Huqing Express Line to get to Chengjiaqiao stop. Then, you can find the hotel very easily.

If you do nto speak Chinese, I would suggest you take taxi all the way as you have a better chance to get somebody to help you at the airport.

Hi, I'm flying into Terminal 2 on Air New Zealand transiting to Virgin Atlantic to fly to London. I'm getting conflicting information on the transit procedure, some saying I can use the transit area and others saying that I need to clear customs and go to the main arrival area to collect my bags. Is anyone able to tell me the actual process? I have 1 hour and 50 minutes to complete the transfer.
Thanks, Mark.

Hello
I am flying into terminal 2 at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on Delta airlines landing at 1pm in the afternoon. I will be Transfering to Cathy airlines (same terminal) to get to Hong Kong. My question is, will I be able to stay within the International Terminal for my transfer? Or, will I have to go thru immigration. I will most probably not have my boarding pass for Cathy. I will also have carry on luggage only. I appreciate the help!!!!

Mr.Frankie replied:
Hi, you don't have to go out of the terminal. The transit check-in counter is just located at the International Arrival Level. From arrival to your leave, you just need to go through one time for the Entry &Exit Frontier Inspection and Customs Inspections.

i am arriving from singapore to shanghai pudong airport terminal 1 at 1805 but i need to get another flight at 1850 to shenzhen at terminal 2, can i make it ?
Jun. 24,2009 19:54
Mr.James replied:
To calvin:
Time is not enough for you. You have to check the temperature for H1N1, pass the immigration, clear the lugguage, take free shuttle bus to T2 and handle the lugguage and custom again in T2. According to the news, Pudong airport is conducting medical examination when international flights arrive and passenger will examined one by one. You should have at least two hours to make it, I believe.
Hope it helps.
