If your bag went LAX-BKK directly, because of baggage issues, how difficult would it be for you to go and get the bag back?
Thats pretty scary just to think about >< which is why i need the bag tagged for NRT instead, but alas carry on clothes may have to be my ace in the hole on this one. The whole situation is me sticking my neck out effortlessly and since I'm flying UA it makes matters even worse since I know how strict they can be at times.
