What is the quickest way from T3 to T2 at Beijing airport?
Flying to Philippines via Beijing Capital Airport in April
Arrival: American Airlines from Chicago 11:30 PM 4/22
Depart: Philippine Airlines 1:40 AM 4/23 (2hr 10min layover)
The time span is a bit of a concern. I understand airlines schedule enough time for transfers. Spoke with AA and they said we arrive at T3 island B. Our flight to the Philippines leaves from T2. Since AA and PAL are not code share, we apparently need to claim luggage and re-check in T2. We will also need to get our Boarding Pass in T2 as well (from what I understand). Although I saw a post here saying everything can be done at the Transfer Counter. What I need to know is the proper (and quickest) procedure, so we can make our connection as efficiently as possible.
Also on the way home we have a 7.5 hour layover in BCIA, what are our options at the airport? We get in around 12:30am(via PAL) and leave for Chicago (on AA) just before 8am. Procedures will be helpful here too if they are different from the flight from Chicago.
Thanks in advance for help. (If you have flown to Manila from the US via Beijing, your experience will be especially appreciated.)
