Flying 2 separate itineraries. LAX-PEK-HKG Air China, then HKG- SGN Vietnam Airlines
4 hour layover HKG
At LAX, Can Air China have my bags checked all the way thru to SGN?
Do Air China (Star Alliance) and Vietnam Airlines (Sky Team) have any type of inter-airline agreement?
If not, will i have to completely clear customs/immigration in Hong Kong, go to street level, return to the airport ticket counter and clear immigration again with HKG officials?
I think both Air China and Vietnam Airlines are in Terminal 1, will that make a difference?
Finally, I will have a wheelchair bound parent with me. Will this make it more difficult to transit thru ?
