Shenzhen Transit Guide: Free Hotel & Airport Transfer Tips
Hello everyone! I'm back to share essential tips for moms flying with Shenzhen Airlines and facing a transit time exceeding 8 hours in Shenzhen.
These connecting flights often come with much cheaper fares, so if the layover schedule suits you, booking this route can be a great budget move.
I have experienced layovers in many cities, but for those flying from Vietnam to China with a transit longer than 8 hours in Shenzhen, you are entitled to request complimentary hotel accommodation and airport transfer service directly from the airline!
How to Claim Your Free Transit Hotel
The process is quite straightforward. Upon arrival at Shenzhen Airport, you need to clear immigration into China first. Then, proceed to the fourth floor of the terminal.
Locate counter E24. Present your onward flight ticket and your passport to the staff. Simply request the transit hotel arrangement.
Good news: whether you are traveling solo or with a companion, you are eligible for either a single room or a shared room (two people per room). The service also includes shuttle buses running between the airport and the hotel, both ways.
The hotels provided are usually quite good—clean and comfortable!
Alternative Booking Method
Alternatively, you can email Shenzhen Airlines in advance to pre-book your hotel and transfer service. This approach ensures everything is arranged smoothly before your journey begins. It's incredibly convenient and thoughtful service provided by the airline.
Safe travels everyone!
