Hi, I have two questions:1.Route: Macedonia- Shanghai - Hong Kong - Tokyo - Macedonia, I will use 3 different airlines with separate tickets. Is this possible? 2.Ticket to a third country with confirmed seat and date!? Since I am buying the ticket Shanghai to Hong Kong online e-ticket, I cannot have printed ticket with confirmed SEAT, most of the airlines provide seat on check in 24h before departure. Is this a problem?

1. Only the stops immediately before and after Shanghai are relevant for visa-free transit. Where do your flights stop immediately before and after Shanghai?2. It just means you must have a confirmed ticket, because stand-by is not allowed. It's best to print out your eticket to show at check-in and on arrival. You don't need an assigned seat.

From Istanbul to Shanghai direct flight operated by Turkish airlines. After 3 days in Shanghai, i have onward ticket from Shanghai to Hong Kong direct flight operated by China Airlines!

Istanbul - Shanghai - HK is eligible for th 144-hour visa free transit and it does not matter you fly wit seperate tickets.

Thanks a lot for all your help Joseph!
