Originally posted by fone View PostIsn't 90 mins cutting it quite tight? I only departed PEK once, that was timing to leave and reach the airport about 2 hours before the flight. Traffic jam probably took 30 mins, then the security after immigration took about 1 hr. Left me with barely enough time to shower, then last few to board the plane, with little time to spare, which is about what you mentioned, the (at most) 90 mins to go thru immigration, which was just enough for me. I'd put it as at least 90 mins.
In PEK, it really depends on time of day. It is a lot busier at night. Less busy in the afternoon when SQ807 leaves. But you're right, best to not listen to my advice. At least 90 minutes it is!

I'm at the other end of the spectrum. Even flights from MEL, I arrive 3 hours before departure. A close friend once labeled me as "incapable of missing a flight". (He has missed many!) I simply can't face the stress of wondering if I'll make it or not.

So SQ228, May be you should make a trip report and show what it’s like.
My recent trip to Astana is ready in the Trip Report section here
It’s a surreal place - a cross between Las Vegas, Dubai, and a Chinese suburban.
I prefer Almaty anytime, it’s like a giant park, the greenest city I have been to.

Can't wait for KC to fly between SIN and ALA in 2019 (fingers crossed)

Yes, I left you a couple of questions after it, but I really appreciate information direct from a fellow traveller, so can't thank you enough. I'm just this week preparing a large exhibition of my architectural photographs, so with that done I'm heading to Beijing and Astana for some new inspiration!
