Checking a bag between legs on a multi-leg flight?
Later this month I'll be flying MEL-FRA via HKG (of course with CX) and would like to check a bag straight through to FRA but would also like to do some shopping in HKG during my layover. Is it possible to check a second bag HKG-FRA or is this prohibited due to the fact that I'm already checked in?

CX is generous given you are a QF WP but just in case... :-)

Sorry to hijack the thread but thought this is somewhat relevant. Is it possible to do the following with two bags (within allowance for NorthAm flights):
Bag #1: Original Destination --> Final Destination (through checked in)
Bag #2: Original Destination --> Transit Point (HKG) Baggage Claim --> Shopping & Re-Packing --> Transit Point (HKG) Re-Check-in --> Final Destination
Bag #1: Original Destination --> Final Destination (through checked in)
Bag #2: Original Destination --> Transit Point (HKG) Baggage Claim --> Shopping & Re-Packing --> Transit Point (HKG) Re-Check-in --> Final Destination
