Q: Is it possible to stay overnight at Beijing airport?

I have a flight early morning at Beijing airport and don't feel like waking up early and getting into rush hour traffic. Is it possible to just register my luggage 5 hours in advance, pass security and go rest inside?

I truly do not recall the number of hours in advance, but somehow I sort of remember 3 hours only, but I could be wrong, when I did it was many years ago.

I have seen many persons sleeping on seats at many airports, with legs over luggage to avoid theft.

And yes, depending on hours in advance, you can do it.

Happy is right.  Check-in starts 3 hours before the scheduled departure time.  You can arrive  at the airport earlier, but you'll still need to take care of your luggage until check-in begins.

Yes, I do believe I saw some people who (it appeared to me) to have been passed out 'camping' in seats. 

         But here is a cool (if not a little pricey) suggestion. They have those awesome little 'nap boxes'. I don't know what the name is. But you will see these rows of what kind of look like 'Kiosks'. You could almost mistake them for a UK toilet. Anyways, I think it was something like $5 fo an hour (does anyone know?). You open the door and have JUST enough space for your luggage and the little bed. 

I REALLY wanted to use one. But my flights all lined up perfectly. But if I ever have to stay there for 2-6 hours I want to try one.

I did it a couple years ago, but you cant register your luggage, you just have to keep it with you. It was boring, but quiet, so you can sleep a little. I think the McDonalds opened at 5.

A:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
