Flew domestically into Chongqing on Sichuan Airlines and for some reason our aerobridge was at the small
International Terminal 1. Requiring us to walk 100m around the edge of the terminal concourse and walk
down stairs to a shuttle bus to carry Terminal 2, which being winter was bitterly cold, especially with the
doors opened while the bus waited for a full load. Once inside the proper domestic terminal, it was pretty
straight forward and standard routine. Once excellent feature was a lady handing out bi-lingual cards listing
taxi fare prices to over a dozen destinations around the city to discourage touting and rip offs. For the return,
I found out the single domestic Terminal 2 is actually split into 3 separate halls, A, B and C. If you flight is
leaving through hall C, you can not enter via A or B security points. This also means you are technically shut
off from the shops and facilities in the other sections too, such as the McDonalds in hall A. However, you are
able to walk downstairs to the Arrivals level and use the transfer signage to direct you to the other areas,
making the segregation of the terminal areas pointless. Lastly with the security, it was the only place I was
asked to take my boots off, beyond the X-Ray machine, which all passengers were made to do. However with
only one seat it meant a longer wait as you could not progress until the person in front had taken off their
boots, was examined and then re-laced them.
