Not to worry you, but I experience a higher level of delayed luggage when a line change occurs. If there's any way to pack ultralight on the outbound, carryons only, I'd go for it. Buy what you need at your destination and check it for the return. At a minimum, don't check anything you need for the first 2 days.
