Hong Kong to Shanghai to Beijing to Brazil.
Hello
I will be travelling to China from Brazil on an F single entry. I will enter China and be there for a week. At the end of the week, I will will fly from Shanghai to Hong Kong (ie exit China) and be there for a few days. I will then need to fly back to Shanghai at 11:00 morning (on China Eastern) and then catch my return flight (Air China) which leaves from Shanghai at 19:00 on ward to Beijing and leaves Beijing at 00:00 that night.
My questions are:
1. Will I need to exit Shanghai international area to collect my bags from the China Eastern flight and re-check them for the Air China flight?
2. If yes, will my single entry type cause a problem here or will I fall under the 72 hour free transit?
3. Lastly, if I do fall under the 72 hour free transit, do I just exit and then re-check in (air china flight) or do I need to go somewhere (or talk to some offical) to apply for the 72 hour free transit?
Thank you for your assistance.
