I asked if they could check with a supervisor and then very reluctantly after many keystrokes, she produced a luggage tag that showed all 4 segments. My bag also arrived in BKK. Strangely, once they took my bag, it showed being checked in SDF but after that no scans for LAX HKG or HKG BKK. I was worried my bag didn't make the flight and that I would have to figure that out after landing in BKK. The agent in BKK said that because the flight is direct with the same flight number from LAX all the way to BKK that this was normal and it would not show. Another annoying thing, because the LAX/HKG/BKK flight is direct with the same flight number--you get the emails to select your meals in advance but when you click the link, it says no meal info is available for this flight. There was nothing that could be done to fix this. Luckily, I still got my first choice on board. So, hopefully, you get a good agent at CVG who knows how to create the luggage tag.
