Transferring in Beijing meant getting into a bus, exiting the boarding ramp through the emergency exit where a woman was telling Guangzhou and pointing at people's boarding passes. Now she wasn't there to begin with so of course she missed a few and we had to wait for the poor souls in the ice cold bus.
Then we were in for a 5 minute busride to a security checkpoint. 3 lines were open, one was reserved for Chinese VISA-holders which made total sense because the only people at this checkpoint were us transferring. So while the manager while was yelling something at the lady and running around confused asking for VISAs (none were found), the metal detector was bleeping at every single person walking through, forcing manual groping of everyone, delaying us a little bit more. Eventually we got through, after they took Gigi's lighter and a little kid's bouncing ball with light in (that shit is exported from China no?).
Then with bus back to the same airplane, same seats, same luxury, new staff.
Something amazing about the A330 btw, it includes USB for charging your precious cellphone. Just too bad the connection is loose and it doesn't work anyways.
