My journey will start (25 June 2014) in Johannesburg to Beijing with South African Airways arriving in Beijing @ 20h50 . I then need to collect my luggage because my onward flight is at 02h50 (26 June 2014) with Cathy Pacific. Do I need a transit visa to go to my next flight. My wife will be travelling with me.RegardsMichael Esau
