What should I do first?

Verify the exact station name in English and Chinese before paying. Treat station arrival buffer as part of the booking, not an optional extra. Keep luggage, security, and hotel handoff inside the route math.

What if the first fix still fails?

Use one exact passport spelling template across all bookings. Re-verify station names in both English and Chinese 24h before departure. Keep staffed-counter fallback with booking IDs and screenshots.
