Hi - new to post on the CX board.
I have an itinerary from HKG - ICN - HKG - AKL on one PNR.
Here is my issue: HKG - ICN - HKG is a same-day return, and there is a 22-hour layover in HKG before HKG - AKL.
I have no bags to check from HKG-ICN-HKG, but have bags from HKG - AKL.
The phone hotline agent, after much struggle, said when I check in from ICN-HKG-AKL (one ticket), I will be issued both boarding passes, and my bags will be checked through from ICN-HKG.
I keep on saying I do not want to get all the bags from HKG to ICN and wait for ICN check in to open, and I will have no bags when I am back to HKG.
He suggested that, if I have no bags to check in from ICN - AKL (via HKG) at ICN, I can go to HKIA to "recheck-in" and utilise my unused baggage quota.
Has another tried this? And is there anything to watch out for? Many thanks
