I have a friend who will be taking QF from SYD-HKG and then overnight in HKG and take the morning flight to NRT with NH.

It is 2 seperate tickets

What are the chances of QF checking the bags right through to NRT and issuing the BPs for NH.

I know QF is not bound to do this, but do they have any flexibility? I have done something similar, but it was with CX, and I had no problems.

Thanks
