I am a US citizen and want to leave Shanghai Airport, but stay in the city for 2 days.Am I good for the 72 hours free transit and if so, when can I apply to the airline so that I know that I am OK?

Hi Bill! You are good for the 72-hour free transit. You can tell the airline about it when you board on the plane and then apply after your arrival at Shanghai Airport.

Thanks Gigi, any idea how long the application process at Shanghai airport takes?

Oh, it only takes a few minutes.

My flight is Hong Kong - Shanghai, stay 60 hrs and then on to Tokyo, can I use the 72 hrs
