Wrong terminal costs a landside hop
Read the terminal letter on the boarding pass before you leave the curb or the metro.
T1 A = regional intl; T1 B = Spring/Xiamen/Hebei; T2 = most domestic
Two buildings, no sterile bridge. Line 10 or the free shuttle between them.
Do not invent airside menu prices
Eat when you see something open; do not budget from an unsourced yuan figure.

Airport leftover dies at 30; MU leftover still prints 40
Domestic check-in leftover stops 30 minutes before STD from 29 Dec 2025 00:00. China Eastern leftover still prints bags 30 / counters 40 / boarding 15.
T2 is every domestic; T1 is international
T2 leftover gates 13–23 handle every domestic flight. T1 leftover gates 1–12 handle international and HMT. T3 is not a live check-in hall.
Eat 龙味馆 or 茶颜悦色, not the V1 CIP
Named T2 kitchens leftover on the DragonPass restaurant card and the FlyerTalk walk to 尊鹏阁. Sit those, then walk upstairs only if you actually need the room.

SHA · SHA delivers efficient domestic operations and excellent rail integration but limited international facilities and basic food options.
WUX · Jiangsu's second airport is a live T1/T2 machine with Metro Line 3 at the door — the tradeoff is a 2015 lotus hall rather than a new T3, a snack-grade Priority Pass V1 unless you are on MU or ZH metal, and a joint-use climb where the shades come down.
