Hello! My flight is scheduled to arrive into PVG in Saturday at 7:35pm. Do you think I will be able to make the last bus to Wulinmen? If so, how can I go about booking a ticket? Is it refundable if I don’t get through baggage claim and customs in time?
Please excuse any typing ; it's a tiny keyboard and I have clumsy fingers.

@Amy,
Accordingly to our experience, you will have no problem to catch the 9:00 pm bus for Hangzhou Wulinmen. On average, it takes no longer than 40 minutes to go through baggage claim and customs at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, so I don't think you are an exception in doing so.
Ticket is not refundable; if you fail to catch bus booked, your ticket will turn invalidated and no money will be reimbursed.

Are the buses to suzhou crowded in the evening?

elinorzhu (mod) · Dec 4, 2019

@Mikel,
It depends on traffic volume. If you worry about ticket availability to purchase on the spot, you can reserve advance tickets through China Bus Guide.

Good morning,
With advance ticket booking what happens if the flight/customs is delayed and the passengers unable to catch the reserved bus?
How much time should a foreign traveller allow for passing through arrivals/customs please?
Thank you.
