Baggage - two transits

Hi all,

I've got a baggage related question for a flight I'm taking later this year, and I'm hoping some of you can help (or move it to another forum if necessary).

My itinerary is TPE-xHKG-xDXB-LHR, with CX on the first leg, a ~4 hour transit to catch CX745 to DXB, then a ~19 hour transit (time to explore DXB!) before catching BA106 to LHR.

I was just wondering whether CX would be able to check our bags all the way to LHR with us? A secondary issue is whether they'd be able to give us boarding passes all the way to LHR, or whether we'd have to approach the BA check-in at DXB.

I've read a couple of threads elsewhere, and I was only able to find consensus for extended CX-CX transits where the transit city is HKG. My concerns are that:
- DXB doesn't have the facilities to keep bags for an extended transit; and/or
- CX has issues with flights that are >24 hours away, especially with a non-CX carrier

If the above isn't possible, I guess I'll just have to check the bags to DXB and get a kept luggage locker. Not the ideal outcome, but at least I won't have to lug it around with me all day.
