A quick word of thanks to Madrooster for pulling together a working itinerary for me at short notice. He is a wealth of knowledge, and willing to explore options. Thanks Alan for your help.

Hi folks, Looking for a hotel recommendation for a 16hr layover in Shanghai. In and out of PVG, so close by would be good.

Reminds me of AFL593 and a captains son.

CX for me, flying ex CNS and having a second home in BKK limits the options signficantly

If you are not keen on the train, then go up to the Departures level and take a taxi that is dropping off pax. Insist on the meter. It's been a while since I went in that direction, and gas went up on the 1st Sept but I would expect it would cost about 300THB

I make a point of calling now. One weekend trip to HKG I couldn't be bothered, made a significant purchase of camera gear and my mobile rang before I had left the shop, with the bank enquiring if I was in fact making the purchase. Same thing has happened with jewellery purchases in OZ.

A long shot but did you get a ticket number on your query or any reference number?

As others stated, beyond their control, but clock on time will be at least an hour before ETD plus your 12 hour flight and then another 30min to knock off. Add the traffic delays in LHR, and I'd be pretty happy with their effort. And they turn around in a day and do it all again.
