Hello,

I'm travelling from LA to Bangkok and holding an Indian passport. I called the China Eastern and made sure that my transit is not more than 24 hours. But looks like I arrive at one Shanghai airport and depart from another Shanghai airport. Also I called the Chinese embassy and the lady there said I need a transit visa but she wasn't confident in her answer. I need to go to their embassy in person and find out but can you guys help if you can spot anything from the below itinerary?

My transits are these

From : Los Angeles,US
To : Shanghai Pudong

From : Shanghai Hongqiao,Cn
To : Kunming,CN

From : Kunming,CN
To : Bangkok,TH

and the return is,

From : Bangkok,TH
To : Kunming,CN

From : Kunming,CN
To : Chengdu,CN

From : Chengdu,CN
To : Los Angeles,US

GUEST40882 If you total layover time is not more than 24 hours each time, you can use the 24-hour direct transit for both trips. The transit visa is not necessary.
