us passport but traveling from kuwait to beijing

Question

Hi, my husband and I have current US passports, but we will be in Kuwait & UAE on holiday in January. Can we fly from either Kuwait or UAE to Beijing with one airline, and use the 144 hour visa free transit to stay for 2 days (staying in a hotel and visiting the great wall of China)? Then fly with a different airline out of Beijing to Japan? Thank you!

You are suggested buy the connecting flight ticket if you would like to apply for visa-free transit. It means that you only bought one ticket from Kuwait or UAE to Japan, but it will be divided into two segments, like transfers in Beijing. And it doesn't matter if the two segments are not the same airline for a connecting flight.
