Let me start by saying I rarely check bags because I usually try to pack light. I have had some bad experiences with US airlines when I check bags and they either arrive late or not at all. I am taking CX JFK-MNL in 10 days and I have a very important business meeting the morning after I arrive and I need my suit. Is it reasonable to expect that my bag will show up in MNL on time if I check it? I have about a 3 hours layover in HKG so I would think that is enough time to make it to the next flight assuming everything is on time. I know it's a dumb question, but I want to see whether I can feel safe checking my bag or whether I should pare down and carry on my bag. Thanks for any insight.
