China Non rev questions (240 hour transit rules)
Flight attendants: Has anyone non-revved to China using the 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit?
Possible route:
LAX → Hong Kong → Beijing (maybe Shanghai) → Tokyo or Seoul → any USA hub
A few quick questions:
Would this route qualify for the 240-hour transit?
If I fly Hong Kong → China → Hong Kong → LAX, does that not qualify because Hong Kong is both before and after China?
For the flight from China to Tokyo or Seoul, do I need a confirmed seat? Has anyone used a ZED/non-rev listing?
Has anyone gotten a Chinese tourist visa in under 10 days? How long did it take?
Please share firsthand experience if you’ve done this. Thank you!
