free 24 hour visa on outbound / free 72 hour visa on inbound for uk passport holder

Question

I am travelling with Virgin LON - PVG on my outbound flight landing in to Shanghai at 08:30am and booking a separate flight with Spring Air PVG - BKK (Bangkok) that leaves at 12:45 same day for my outbound (will have the confirmed ticket ready) - is this ok for 24 hr twov?  I won't be leaving the airport during this time.On my return I am flying with Spring Air from Bangkok arriving in to Shanghai at 18:15, staying at a hotel in Shanghai close to the airport, and then leaving the following day at 11:50 am - will be leaving the hotel to go to the airport so does this still qualify for the free 24 hr twov or would I queue up in the free 72 hour twov line instead?ThanksSteve

Your route clearly qualifies for 24 hours visa-free transit in both directions. You are always granted the minimum time needed, so it won't be 72 hours. It should be ok, but it might be worth having a plan B just in case your Virgin flight to Shanghai is delayed, especially if you have checked-in luggage to collect and re-check.
