AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Domestic-to-domestic connections under 40 minutes are very tight; confirm your gate immediately upon arrival.
The airport lacks a dedicated connector railway or underground link, so budget extra time if using ground transport between terminals.
International departures require full security re-screening, so add 15–20 minutes even for short layovers.
Signage is mostly in Chinese; download your airline app or ask ground staff early if unsure of your connection gate.
Peak hours (8–10 a.m., 3–6 p.m.) see congestion; arriving during off-peak windows significantly improves connection odds.
