Hi Guys, sorry if this reposting is not allowed, but some members suggest I ask my question here - newbie here, please forgive me!:

Original Post is in the information desk section. I can't share the URL since I have less than 5 posts, but the old post has the same title, if you are interested.

I'm sure everyone here knows the answer, but if one were to hypothetically violate CX's flight carriage rules, if I fly TPE to AMS via HKG and on the return, I do not get on the plane to TPE, will I be able to get my checked bags?

In this hypothetical situation, would there be things that one should say to ensure that ground personnel do not get upset with the passenger? Or is it simply a case of "if you don't fly the bags don't either"?

Appreciate any input. I did try to search google and this forum but did not find an explanation in regards to *international* flights as to what happens if a pax does not board but his/her bags are routed through to the final destination.

the transit time on this itinerary in HKG is 2 hrs, if that makes a difference.

-- added to this post: I have since also found a 15+ hour layover option in HK on this itinerary as well.

Thanks!
