Checking luggage on the second leg of a flight
I've spent a few hours trying to find the answer to this question but have so far been unsuccessful. I'm currently living in South Korea and will be returning to the States for good in the next few months. Before I go home I would like to travel South East Asia for about 2 months. I've looked at flights for my final trek home and came across a Korean Air flight that goes from Hanoi to Seoul to Seattle, with a solid 8 hour layover in Seoul. Since I'll be travelling I would like to leave my heavy luggage in Korea with a friend and pick up on my layover. Would the airlines have a problem with this? Has anyone ever done this?
