| Well if it's any comfort, transitting in China can be troublesome too!
I used China Eastern to visit China and Japan from Australia. Before the 1st part of the return leg (Osaka-Pudong) I was assured in Japan there would be no problem with the 6 hour stopover in China before boarding for home, without a multi-visit visa (I had a one stop visa which I used a week before, which is all I needed according to my travel agent) The airline staff even gave me a sticker to place on my chest to ostensibly facilitate the transit at Pudong. Well as it turned out, it was as if I was the first transit passenger Pudong staff had ever come across. After 10 minutes of head scratching by 2 staff at the immigration counter, I was escorted to an office (very embarrassing with a zillion people in line behind me) where after 15 minutes of discussion between 2 more staff and walkie-talkie conversations I was finally given a temporary visa stamp in my passport |
