About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Checked Luggage Enquiry for 24-hour TWOV

Hi there,
I saw you specify "Claim the luggage (if needed)" for 24-hour TWOV.
I wish to go out of the airport to stay at a hotel for overnight transit (15 hours).

Can I leave the luggage at the airport so that I don't need to check in luggage again and will it be automatically transferred to the flight to Country C?
Who do I talk to and at which airport? Country A airport or in China transit airport?

Thank you!

Just to add information, both flights are with the same airline (China Southern) in one single flight code, transit at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.

Max, the first and the most important detail is that UK citizens are not subject of visa free transit rules, being they 24 or 240 hour visa free transit. UK citizens have a right to visit, stay and explore China absolutely visa free for up to 30 days. In other words, since you travel on a single ticket (booking), your luggage will be tagged all the way to your final destination and it will remain at the airport while you can exit it and enjoy your time in Guangzhou in the way you like. Just remember the procedure of exit formalities: upon landing fill out arrival card, perform fingerprinting at automatic fingerprinting machine and approach immigration. That's it. Have a nice layover in Guangzhou.
