trainsit visa in beijing airportthe luggage claim

Question

I am a Canadain citizen and will be flying from Phuket, Thailand to Beijing, China on May 22, 2011 on Asia Air. I then have a 14 hour layover where I change airlines to Aeroflot, and depart Beijing, China to London, England at 2:00am on May 23, 2011. 1. Do I require a transit visa if I choose not to leave Beijing airport? Is this true for up to a 24 hour transit?2. How do I claim my luggage, and then check my luggage in to my next flight without clearing customs upon arrival? Will Asia Air transfer my luggage to Aeroflot for me?3. Does Beijing internation airport issue transit visa's upon arrival if I do require one?Thank you for you time.

1. no visa will be required if you will just stay within the airport. You are right that no visa is needed for a less than 24-hour transit at a China Airport.2. Customs clearing seems to be necessary for international transit at the airport. You may confirm with the air hostess when you are on the flight.3. Yes, bt such special service is oly available for citizens of a few countries.
