Dave McNovember 4, 2017Beware of the 3-digit gates. It means you’re getting sent downstairs to take a bus to the plane and fight a jillion people to get onto the stairs! Don’t worry, I think they only do that when it rains!
Upvoted Mar 9
Jeena ParkJune 29, 2013T1 recently got good options to eat. After passing security, go straight to the section with Family mart, Korean restaurants n some dessert shops. Much better and cheaper than any other ones in here!
Vaibhav SharmaNovember 9, 2013They have Mochi ice cream here! If you haven't had it before, you must. Cross Gate 19-20 and look for the store on your left.
MK ChanOctober 19, 2018This is domestic terminal, there are many restaurants, cafe and convenience store as well because the flights are always delay.
- Dave McFebruary 11, 2019Really getting hard to find a seat in here, anywhere in here, including restaurants, VIP clubs, on a plant, anyplace! Time for a T3 I think. ✈️ 🤔
- Dave McNovember 4, 2017T1 isn’t as opulent as T2, but I prefer the shorter walk to the gates and shorter lines here.
E. D.June 5, 2013family mart: you can buy drinks and foods cheaper than other places, for example for a Turkish guy after eaten some meat sparkling water will be really good, and it is cheaper than most of places...- Family mart through security but no decent coffee options. If you have 30 minutes extra you can take a free shuttle bus to T2 arrivals hall for a Starbucks fix.
Nora ChoMay 10, 2018For such a big city, this airport is a let down. Nothing to do, no special restaurants or cafés. To be honest, one of the most boring airports in the world. Don’t come to early for your flight!!
Michael LukasNovember 22, 2013I love the airports in china vending machines with beef for 8 RMB or about $1.50 USD water is 2 RMB go for the beer!
T1 opposite gate 12-14 is a 'Pure Fresh Chinese noodle'outlet. Amongst other things they have Corona Extra bottles of beer at 20 RMB. BARGAIN!
Michael ChenOctober 26, 2016T1 facility is older than T2, but it's improving now, I hope it will add more smoking area or room for smoker, so far only 1 near the gate 200, it's not convenient.
Harika BiliciJune 12, 2014There is a 'Subway' just across counter F now, get your sandwich or salad before going to your gate because there aren't many options for Western food on the other side!
Terminal 1 has seen changes lately and there are more options for eating after the security check near the boarding gates, including a Korean resto and two new western/Asian food restaurants.
Chris LaCavaNovember 23, 2012When purchasing items inside an airport they are usually more expensive, but I found the prices were above and beyond the regular inflated prices. Get what you can outside the airport.
Ella MendoncaJanuary 8, 2014To get free wifi without having to receive an sms take the code from the sunrise restaurant board. Though airport wifi excludes Facebook and most other popular sites so good luck.
Smoking room at the beginning just before family mart, go down 2 floors then u-turn.. No escalators to go back up..
The only good things about this terminal is there is a Family Mart here for cheap snacks and drinks. Also go to the departure gate downstairs for cheap cans of beer from the vending machine 🍻👍- Dave McNovember 16, 2019To apply for the e-channel, upon arrival go through immigration like normal but don’t leave, go to the backside of window 31, sign the form allowing collection of biometrics and wait at window 31.
Korean Resturant near gate 21 in Terminal 1 has very good food and cheap beer for an Airport 22 RMB for Tiger beer
Don't take lighters throught security check points or even in your checked lugagge. The are very well trained to find them and they them away
Aj ParkerFebruary 21, 2012If you have a long layover take a ride on he Maglev train, it takes about 45min round trip. Only 8 minutes each way at 300+ km/h.
Steven DoyleJanuary 10, 2020If you get fucked over by the atms on arrival pop up to departures and by door D is a bank of China atm that takes foreign cards 👍
Ruslan YagufarovJuly 27, 2013bough family mart sushi .... still alive... the experiment is still going on
Jeff WooJanuary 2, 2012If you have a long layover here you can leave the airport & have a meal in town or stroll on the bund! (you have to exit anyways)
Doreen ChanOctober 2, 2011Do u know that there is no watch or any shop that sells watches or electronics sell batteries for watches? None at all. I must be so spoilt coming from a country with world's best airport.
Go downstairs. There are Family Marts on the lower level. You can get some food and drinks at a reasonable price.
David ChowJune 22, 2014Make sure you check your flight status early and come early just in case. Delays are so common here its expected
The lines here are awesome. I mean, awesomely frustrating.
NooN BelovedOctober 8, 2016If u r looking for the smoking area .. U can find it after the security checkin😜 (gate 200)
debbie jordanJanuary 6, 2012If ur a smoker can smoke downstairs after security. They provide lighters thru a hole in the wall as China customs find all your lighters and confiscate them.
Andrew WongOctober 2, 2013These Chinese are always taking opportunity to make money from foreigners. If you plan to change money at the Airport, be prepared to pay RMB60 for their commission!
Ruby HuangMay 9, 2018Slowest inter-airport transport system of the world. Poor arrangement of transfer routes and no staff knows anything. Basically an airport of an under developing country and China's worse creation.
Try stay as short time as possible, which applies to any and all chinese airports.
Buddha LiaoMay 15, 2012There's a small duty free shop that sells Combos by gate 19 in the int'l terminal. Only place in China I've ever seen them
Cheap real coffee 18-25 rmb when u go downstairs near gate 200 @ C'est la vie
This airport has been cleverly designed to ensure you hate yourself for ever going on holiday.
Arwin AdityavarnaJuly 5, 2013Great airport for wasting your time. Flight got delayed most of the time with reasons that you can't ever imagine. Wondering who is in charge for managing the air traffic control.
After security, go downstairs (gate 201) to find cheap and freshly-made takeaway coffee and fruit juice
란April 30, 2013Free wifi, though it sucks that Twitter and Facebook are banned here. Btw, don't exchange currency here, the commission fee is ridiculously high.
- Mike KleinebeckerAugust 14, 2016No shops for electronics. Mostly duty free, cigarettes, liquor, perfume and food court.
