I would allow the bag to be tagged as far as HKG, then go and collect the bag, and recheck at HKG with CX. Their systems would allow through check with two tickets and less possibility of bags going somewhere else..
Yep. But as stated previously, the recheck at HKG would be with AA, not with CX. My only CX flight is KUL-HKG as a codeshare. And a recheck with AA will definitely not get the bag checked through. That's very clear. We're more interested in what MH will do here.
I'm doing this for research purposes, to benefit the greater community
and as I just said above, I'm fully prepared for the bag to be mishandled. But frankly, I'll know by LAX whether it worked or not, since I have to see my bag there regardless. So I don't see a whole lot of increased risk in giving through checking a shot.
