Hello,

I have a mileage redemption ticket with Cathay, flying ICN-HKG-BKK-HKG-ICN. I'll be traveling with 2 check-in bags.

On return, is it possible to ask the check-in agent in BKK to send my 2 check-in bags only to HKG, and not all the way to ICN? (There is a 2 hour layover in HKG on return) What reason should I give them? (say.... I have to give these 2 bags to my friend in HKG?)

From HKG, I am planning on taking Air China to Beijing 2 hours after BKK-HKG lands. Will this be enough time? I will probably have to go through immigration, pick up luggage, go through customs, re-check in with Air China with 2 bags, go through security&immigration and then board.... unless I ask Cathay to check my bag all the way through to Beijing in BKK, but then they'll definitely know I'm not planning on using HKG-ICN..

Thanks!
