Osaka-Bkk connecting flight and requesting a free hotel in Shenzhen
Before booking, I was worried that it would be cancelled because it was my first time booking a Chinese airline, both the outbound (Air China) and return (Shenzhen Air). In the end, the bill for all 4 flights was chill.
Got a round-trip price of 12,550
Air China (BKK-PVG-KIK)
Shenzhen Air (KIK-SZX-BKK)
The Trip app said that the luggage was not checked through and had to be reloaded, but when I checked in, the officer said that it was checked through, so it was easy, I didn't have to collect the luggage and reload it.
Osaka-Shenzen
The flight was not delayed, the plane was not full, so I sat in an empty seat, planning to sleep comfortably, but I didn't sleep at all. The Chinese man behind me was talking loudly from Osaka to Shenzhen. He probably sat in an empty seat as well, because he disappeared before the plane landed.
There was food served on the plane. This meal was the most delicious out of all 4 flights.
Shenzen-Bangkok was a snack box.
Requesting a free hotel: If the connecting flight is 6 hours or more, you will get a free hotel (we flew 29.04.68) Waiting for connecting flight 12.45 hrs.
After passing immigration, walk to the elevator to the 4th floor, go to counter E24, inform them that you need a hotel for connecting flight.
The officer will take your passport + boarding pass, take a photo of us, and then walk down to the 1st floor to wait in front of 7-11. An officer will come to take you to the bus (they will show you a photo to check before taking you).
We stayed at Tianhe Hotel, took about 15 minutes by car. After checking in, the staff will let you choose the time to leave the hotel and go to the airport. You must come down and wait 5 minutes before the scheduled time. The hotel's wifi is very slow. I recommend applying for a package.
In the morning, the bus will pick you up on time. Take the bus to the airport for about 15 minutes. Wait at the gate and take the bus to board the plane.
