Metro S1 in the GTCInternational Priority Pass V7 in T2Nanjing snack street after securityPullman Hotel in the GTCT2 east-pier duty freeT1 夫子庙 multimedia hall
T2 is MU/ZH plus every international — T1 is the other domestics
Landside is two halls and a GTC, not three. Internationals cannot walk from a T1 domestic gate without exiting.
Domestic check-in leftover-prints closes 40 minutes before STD
T2’s 2014 leftover still reprints a 40-minute domestic close. Metro S1 is not 24 hours — last city-bound leftover 22:42.
Eat 鸭得堡 / 陇兴楼 / 富春 — PP V6 is not a food hall

Be 90–100 minutes early; leftover desks disagree on 30 vs 35
Bendibao leftover asks for 100 minutes. Maigoo leftover still prints a 30-minute domestic close-out; CSAIR leftover prints 35. Confirm the ticket, not a copied cutoff.
T1 only — T2 leftover is still steel
Every live domestic and international leftover uses the 2012 T1 building. T2 leftover is not a passenger door on 20 Sep 2026.
Sit the 2F CIP at the meal window; landside leftover is 711
FLYERT leftover May 2026 still gets a locked-off 热食 room in the upstairs CIP at meal hours. Off-window leftover is snacks / 王老吉. Landside leftover 1F 711 is same-city street price.
NKG · Two connected halls, Metro S1 in the GTC, and a real international Priority Pass room in T2 — paid for with a split airline map leftover English pages still get backwards, and unpublished annual on-time stats.
YTY · Yangzhou–Taizhou's compact 2012 T1 is a ¥30 bus, a Gate 2–3 meal-window CIP, and 240-hour TWOV — the tradeoff is a 30 km hop, a thin Seoul/Bangkok bank, and a T2 shell that is still not a door.
