I don’t know what came over me, I clearly haven’t been thinking straight for a while…!

My second flight from HND-CGK got cancelled, and they moved me to the flight the following morning. ‘No problem’ I thought, without realising what a problem it would be!

A second agent said it was unlikely that luggage could be checked through, with there being 2 separate tickets. And that they wouldn’t know until the day if it would be possible - if not, I would have to leave the luggage at JFK!

There were no other flights that would work for me in F or J, or so I thought….. by some miracle, call it destiny if you will, I managed to speak to a 3rd agent and score the exact flight I would need out of LAX instead, which will allow me to make my connection! Yes it is a pain getting to LAX and I got charged a tonne more in surcharges… but it keeps the trip alive!

The 3rd agent also seemed to think it WOULD be possible to check the luggage through - given that my new flight time and connection time are much shorter - which allows me to checkin for both flights at LAX and get boarding passes.
