Little did he know we were traveling in F and he through-checked our luggage after showing our F ticket.

On the return sector the agent in Tokyo asked if we wanted our bags tagged all the way to our final destination without us even asking - given that we only had a 2.5 hour layover that was quite helpful!
in Tokyo they do all sort of crazy things
I've once from tokyo, connected in SIN for the AY mistake fare (rerouted from HKG back then), then in FCO reposition back to London. 1 bag made it, and 3 got delivered to my doorstep.
