I was in June in ZBAA. Came in in the middle of the night. Carefull about Fog! We broke out at the minimas! Tower did not tell us about it! Arrival and Approach controllers were very efficient vectoring us around Thunderstorms, they did a great job!
We landed on Runway 18R and had a short taxi to apron 8 (Biz Jet parking) Passing Customs was interesting: We climbed in the Handler's minivan and 20 minutes later we were at the Sheraton (Great place to stay)
The following day, i thought that two hours ahead of departure time would be enough to walk through security. I was wrong, very wrong: it took 10 minutes and i got a cup of tea. They have a General Aviation/VIP terminal. GPU was ordered and 5 minutes later comes a brand new out of the box GPU (no charge)
Start up clearance is challenging (takes at least 10 to 15 minutes). Taxi clearance is easy: taxi Z2, A to runway 18L but long (25minutes)
