AY & KA interline (?)
I'm off to CAN next week, HEL-HKG on AY and HKG-CAN on KA on separae tickets. Would AY check me and my luggage in at HEL? I have 3 hours in HKG, but I'd hate to go thru immigration and customs just to collect my stuff and check it in again and go thru immigration and customs within an hour.
If they can't I'll just pack everything into a small looking giant duffel and take it onboard.
To make things more interesting, I have no Chinese visa, as I'll use the 72-hrs TWOV system for the first time (arriving from HKG, leaving to BKK, so that should be OK)
