Indeed. I flew CX HKF-BOM for a day of meetings and connecting the next night onto BA BOM-LHR. In HKG they tagged my bag all the way through. When I landed at BOM, crew told me I had to collect my bag after all as the connection was more than 24 hours. It was, in fact, precisely 24 hours and 5 minutes. I was not happy!
