Thread drift, but my one experience was almost Swiss-like in precision. Got on a domestic flight Shenyang to Beijing on some domestic airline to connect to Air China. Jeppesen ITP said it was all worked out, but didn’t have details, esp I arrived on a crew visa, but departed as passenger. Usually means some time in the office. Parked at remote stand for an hour connection, I figured I was missing the flight to JFK for sure. Get off the the bus, there a Jeppesen rep holding a card with my name and the letter on the visa issue. Escorted thru immigration and at gate early enough for a coffee. Bags made it, too.
