Fly from Seattle USA, 2hr layover Beijing, on to Guangzhou airport: arrive July 10thStay at hotel in Guangzhou (under 72 hours)Drive to Hong Kong on July 12Fly out of Hong Kong on July 16

Eric · Answer

Evan, both the first travel itinerary and the second one are not eligible for the 72 hour free transit because the first one is not a transit at all and the second one has two stops in China. She needs to apply for a transit G type in advance.
