Thank you for the very informative video!
Hello, thank you this video! I will have a flight with AirChina (Canada to Philippines) with a 3 hr. stopover in Beijing Airport. Your video gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing what to expect. I wonder whether this was in your video and I just didn't understand, but can I do a direct transit if my luggage is not checked through, or do I have to go landside to retrieve my luggage?
This was very informative. The video was a bit shaky. I would think that the airport should actually produce a video like this to help passengers
Thank you very much for your trouble in posting this video...it is a great help to me
I can't believe that she speaks English very well. But of course I can speak with her in Putonghua (Mandarin)

Visited there last in 2013. beautiful airport.
Please see the music link at the bottom of the video description.
Hello FlySolo, thanks for the video. I hope the pandemic can end so we can turn flying. What city SPECIFICALLY form the US did you fly from into Beijing? I often fly to Beijing from New York and I have been to Beijing airport every year except the pandemic. Nice!
Flew from JFK - now feels like it was in another life.
@@flysolo553 thanks. What date did you take this flight on? If you still remember, was the plane new 3-4-3 seat?
@@flysolo553 I was on Air China’s new 3-4-3 economy class. Do you remember what plane you took ?
@@boeinginfinity777 Can't recall the date, it's been a few years - 2019 I believe. We were in business on an award ticket.
I haven't been there since 2020, man this brings it back.. Would always fly through to Japan every four months and spend the night in beijing each way, miss those days ahh to hit that train knowing i was out and could walk to the cordis lol then for a night on the town!
Hi, thanks for the video, it's very informative.
I have a flight with transit time 19 hours in PEK Beijing and got a transit hotel reserved already, do you know whether there is a free airport shuttle from the airport to the hotel and return for the international transit?
If the hotel has one. No airport shuttle I know of.
So the direct transit you don’t have to go through passport check?
You do not go through Chinese immigration when in direct transit. However, you have to go through the automated gate that will ask you to scan your passport and your boarding pass. In that sense, there is still a "passport check". I am not sure how deeply they look into this, but they have a record and some verification is performed in the background. See video at 2:12
When the lady talked to you, when was that? I would like to know when the transit counter will start to work. In the self-transit scanning machine, what do you need to scan? Boarding pass for the next international flight or passport?
The transit counter is supposed to open around 5-5:30am. You scan both your passport and the next flight's boarding pass in the transit gate reader.
@@flysolo553 Thanks a lot!
Hello, thanks for the informative video! I will have a flight with Hainan Airlines from Brussels Airport to Tokyo Narita with a 2h10 layover in PEK (from terminal 2 to terminal 2). I heard that you (might) have to recheck your baggage and go through customs, will this be enough time to do all of that? The flights are on a single ticket, thank you!
Assuming this is a single ticket, you will not need to recheck your baggage. 2 hours is, normally, quite sufficient for a transfer. Enjoy Tokyo!
Hello, how did your flight was? I have to fly from brussels airport to narita with a stop at pek too and i am a little scared. Maybe can you answer some questions ? And maybe you speak french? 😂
@@charlotteferlisi9687 My French isn't good enough to explain this hahaha. Hope English is okay. Ended up flying with China Southern instead, went very smooth didn't have to recheck luggage. A friend did fly with Hainan though. He also didn't have to recheck his luggage. When your checking in your luggage in Brussels, ask one of the staff whether it will be automatically put onto the next flight to be sure. The tag they put on my bag had Haneda as end destination so that also put me at ease. Also for the transit in China (mine was in Guangzhou, not Peking), it went very smooth for me. I did arrive at 6am local time so there were basically no queues. Did not have to go through customs. Just followed the signs for transfers and had my passport and carry-on inspected like regular and I was in the terminal. This took like 30-40 minutes maybe. 2h10 layover does seem tight to me though. Your first flight could have some delays or the flight takes longer than expected + queues at the airport and it will already be very close to get your next flight in time I think. Maybe it's fine but I like to be careful with stuff like this.Hope this helps! lmk if you need any more explanation!
@@kobeproost3254 thank you so much for your answer! That seems not that stressful 😅 did you had a ticket from china to Haneda or did the passport is the only thing needed to pass the transit inspection? How did they knew you are a passenger for another fly? With the passport number?
@@charlotteferlisi9687 Not sure I fully understand correctly😅but for the transit I needed my boarding pass and my passport. You just had to follow the signs that said "transit" or "connecting flight" instead of the signs pointing to the exit or baggage claim. It was really straightforward. I wouldn't worry to much about it beforehand. The airport clearly indicates where you need to go. If you don't know where to go you can always ask a staff member
Hello. I'm watching your video. I normally have a direct transit in Beijing but I'm not sure I'll get my traveled pass to Bangkok. So if I understand correctly and I have to go to the ticket office ask for the next bording pass or go out and do the entry formalities again? Do I have to take my rings or will they automatically follow to Bangkok?
You will need to pick up a boarding pass at the transit desk. Baggage should be checked through - no need to pick up.
I would be travelling with Air China from new York to Delhi . The layover is in Beijing airport. I need to take another international flight from there.
Can you please help me with below questions?
1) Do I need to go for immigration at Beijing airport for international transfer ?
2) Do I need to check in again the luggage ? My ticket is in same airline (Air China).
3) how much time it takes to go from terminal T3 to T1?
If you are flying Air China the entire way, on one ticket, and your flights are NYC-PEK and PEK-DEL, then all of those flights should be in terminal 3 (T3).
If so, your transfer process should be one of the options shown in this video. In general, you can take "option 1", direct transit, that does not require going through immigration. Your bags should be checked through from NYC to DEL.
If I am flying from London Heathrow to Haneda Japan via Beijing on AirChina , with a layover of 1hour 45 minutes , is this enough time ?
I’ve never done a connecting flight before .
AirChina is the airline from start to finish
On a single ticket - normally, yes (and in any case Air China will be responsible for rebooking you, if needed)
Thanks for the video I wanna ask you about the filed arrival paper what is the questions they ask?
Christina Tina Do you mean the Transit Without Visa counter? Or passport control?
Fly Solo I mean passport control
Christina Tina My experience with passing China's passport control is that they do not ask questions. They would normally type/search in their system and look at visa and passport, then let me in. Don't think I've even been asked about the intended duration of stay or return tickets. YMMV of course.
What does the self service biometric system do for international passengers ?
Sakthi Mohan Takes fingerprints and a photo for immigration purposes. I guess it is intended to save time in line at actual immigration.
I have to transfer in beijing airport (AIR CHINA)SIN-PKG-TOKYO(AIR CHINA).I am issued with a E-tickets only no boarding pass can I choose OPTION 1: INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER GATE with no boarding pass ?
Same question…. How did you do?
Next month from Paris France I am going to Hongkong 🇭🇰 via Beijing the transit time is only 4 hours for that do I need a transit visa at Beijing airport? Let me know please I am lil scared and bit worried please 🙏 I will stay inside the airport not gonna go outside. My flight is same air China up and down both the flight is same. From Hongkong to Paris France 🇫🇷 via Beijing. I am Belgian 🇧🇪 passport holder!
You do not need a visa to transit. Enjoy Hong Kong!
@@flysolo553 thanks 🙏
in worse case you have 14 days free visa ! if you have a french passport
i wasn’t able to understand the difference between the two option, will you explain...i’m getting nervous and wanna know how this works because my family are going to the Philippines and i’m afraid we won’t make it in an a hour with 5 people... and do you have any advice on how to pass immigration fast
Christine Joyce Quinajon The first option does not require going through immigration. That is the one you should select.
Han Solo omg thank you so much i’m really panicking about not making it in an hour...thank you so much...and it’s ok if my family doesn’t pass immigration?
Han Solo and the self service fingerprint is it necessary? or no?
Christine Joyce Quinajon AFAIK, self-service fingerprinting is only for those who plan to go through immigration.
i only have 5 hours lay over so i dont need togo to imigration right i can go direct to the gate gor my next flight
