A shuttle driver said that most travelers who mistakenly went to Terminal 1 yesterday booked their tickets from agents instead of directly with airline offices.
Fifteen airlines moved from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 yesterday, while 18 will relocate on April 29.
Terminal 2 is easy to negotiate. Clearly marked signs indicate areas for taxies, long-distance buses, the Maglev station, parking lots, terminal-shuttle buses and linking corridors.
Terminal 1 was another story.
"Many passengers have been asking us where they can find the shuttle buses," said a female guide, standing next to a gate of Terminal 1's arrival hall.
Terminal 2, however, drew much praise.
"It's comfortable and very spacious," said a female traveler, surnamed Wang, who was heading for Changchun City from Terminal 2. "I like the carpets. The new terminal facilities are equal to airports in Singapore and Australia, where I have traveled."
About 120,000 square meters of carpet has been laid.
