Hi everyone!

I have few questions regarding on my flight from Helsinki to Shanghai and from there all the way to Melbourne. My trip starts from Helsinki in January 1st 2013 with Air China (operated by Finnair) and then I have an 11 hour layover in Shanghai. From Shanghai I fly with Air China to Melbourne in January 2nd 2013.

I was wondering that are my bags going to go all the way to Melbourne or do I have to do the check-in again in Shanghai? If I don't have to do the check-in again and I would stay in the transit area (terminal 2) is there a lot of restaurants and shops around there?

Also, I was checking several different websites about the Air China baggage allowance and I'm a bit confused because some websites say that it is 20kg and other ones say it is 23 kg. I wonder which is the correct baggage allowance.

Thanks in advance and merry X-mas to everyone ! X
