- S2 — domestic waiting and boarding halls on Levels 1 and 2, international waiting and boarding halls on Levels 1 and 3.

If you are connecting at Pudong, allow extra time for the MRT transfer between the main terminal and the satellite hall, particularly on long-distance international connections.
