Luggage not checked through BNE SIN CDG
Hi all,
Qantas directed me to the self check-in kiosk.
Apparently that means my luggage has been checked to SIN.
I will have to collect it there and then recheck to HAM via CDG.
Do I have to enter Singapore for that or can I collect and proceed to the AF check-in counter within the terminal?

Sorry but you’ll have to be more explicit. Your thread title says BNE, SIN, CDG but then you speak after about HAM. Devil hides into details. We need to know which ticket you have, with which airlines (operating and marketing carriers), all in one ticket or several separate tickets, etc.

If your luggage is checked to SIN only, then you have to pass through immigration in SIN to retrieve it and check it in again at the AF desks for your final destination. On a multi airline/mixed alliance itinerary (single PNR), you always have to insist to see a check-in desk instead of a machine.

So, I am on AF ticket stock.
Flying BNE to SIN on QF51.
Then, 17 hrs later, I'm booked AF181 to CDG and then finally AF1610 to HAM.
QF directed me to the machines and luggage has been checked in, but only to SIN
I now asked at the transfer desk C for AF In SIN and was advised they will take care of it tomorrow.
I hope that is true.

Please keep us posted but Next time just go to a physical check-in to check your baggage through. Clearly, the chances of baggage mishandling are super high as your baggage is not tagged to your final destination (and the reason for it is that QF systems could not handle the itinerary in the self-service check in kiosks)

You mention 17h in Singapore.
I assume that you booked a hotel there. Then best to take your bags with you.
Will not be possible to check in 17h before AF flight.
But you must already be in SIN.

So yes you will need to enter Singapore, collect your bags and re-check them for your flight the next morning.

They once retrieved my luggage to put it on another flight due to an irrop, with hardly a spare minute at their disposal. My suitcase made it! I was amazed.
