So my issue is that for hkg-cmb since it stops in sIn. Will it cause problems if they tag hkg-cmb-sin???
Should not be an issue. You are actually flying HKG-CMB-SIN....that is what the computer sees....the fact that the flight happens to stop in SIN on the way out is inconsequential in this issue. You are not ticketed HKG-SIN-CMB-SIN I take it. Lets say the out bound stopped in HAN....you would still be going HKG-CMB-SIN....just with a stop in HAN...so there you would not be concerned about your bag. The coincidence of flying through SIN on the way out does not change that. Having said all that....CX may choose to tag it only to SIN to save the weight of carrying your bag..but that would just be a logistical decision.
Either way...happy and safe flight to you.
