I'm leaning towards playing the odds and just taking our chances. Those shipping services are EXPENSIVE—I got some quotes online while eating lunch and the cost is really steep.

If there are two of you checking in one bag each I suggest you split each other's clothing between the two bags, so at least if only one bag goes missing, both of you will have some clothes.

Do ensure you have insurance so you can go and buy clothes at CPH without any worries on Monday if the worst happens.

It really is a sorry state of affairs when we have to give advice like this.
