  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) requires careful logistical planning, especially when transferring between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, which are located approximately 3.5 kilometers apart and are not connected airside. The 24-hour Transit Without Visa (TWOV) is available to almost all nationalities. Look for the dedicated visa-free transit lanes before reaching the main immigration desks. \n\nFor international-to-domestic transfers, you must collect all checked baggage and clear customs at PEK before re-checking your luggage at the domestic transfer desk, even if your bags were tagged to your final destination. In practice, PEK rewards travelers who keep the transfer sequence simple: collect baggage, clear customs, and re-enter the domestic side with your documents already in hand.\n\nA free 24-hour shuttle bus operates between the terminals, departing every ten minutes during the day and every 15 to 30 minutes at night; the journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. For those wishing to leave the airport during a longer layover, or those who must change terminals, a 'Temporary Entry Permit' can be applied for at the border inspection counter upon arrival. A minimum connection time of at least two hours is recommended for same-terminal transfers, while at least four hours is advisable for inter-terminal connections or if you are traveling on separate tickets.\n\nIf your connection involves a terminal change, you must clear immigration and customs, exit the secure area, and take the shuttle bus before re-clearing security at your next terminal. Keep your passport, baggage tags, and domestic boarding pass together before you re-enter security, because the shuttle transfer is reliable but the terminal change still takes time.\n\nMost international travelers can take advantage of China\u2019s visa-free transit policies. Additionally, citizens of over 50 countries may be eligible for a 144-hour visa-free transit if they have a confirmed ticket to a third country destination.
