Complex itineary - baggage tagging
I have the following complex CX itineary and wanted to see whether I can check my bag through to the final destination
Hkg-cmbx-sin
However do note that the hkg-cmb flight involves a transit stop in SIN
Just wanted to see whether CX can tag the bags to SIN?

I would assume no, since your stopover is longer than 24hrs? But also, I don't think you would want your baggage checked through as it would mean having your bag at Colombo airport for more than a day increasing chances of it getting lost/pilfered.

I assume the OP is doing HKG>>>SIN>>>CMB>>>SIN. Assuming it is on the same metal, then it will be CX 711, then returning as CX710 exCMB.
Assuming that this is a legal booking and ticketed, the check-in agent in HKG should be able to tag the baggage to SIN with the 2 separate flight number.
Better to check with CX itself. I don't think anyone for that matter has done something similar before.

I have had CX tag the baggage for a SFO->HKG->TPE->HKG->SIN itinerary to SFO->HKG->SIN without any problem and in fact across (2) separate ticket.

the SIN transit would not do anything since its a HKG-CMB flight, and you are next going to SIN as you've indicated. the 1st SIN transit does not go into the consideration of anything except you'd be physically there.

I am having a feel that OP might be on CX 711 which routing is what I mentioned in my post above. I guess OP is worried that his baggage will be offloaded on the CX 711 leg as opposed to making it with him to CMB and back on CX 710

Should not be a problem checking thru. I did a HKG-NRT-HKG-FRA a while ago. also just a turn in NRT.
Worst case they offload your luggage at the first SIN stop - and they will keep it at lost and found.

I had a more complex routing CX KUL-HKG-RUH via AUH then turn around on QR RUH-DOH-AUH.
CX counter said they can check right thru. As it turned out, my baggage did not reach RUH for QR to pick up and loaded it onto my connecting flight.
They were off-loaded at AUH and when I reached AUH, the baggage was stored at the Lost & Found for me to pick it up.

Seems like this is the correct answer

I've done tpe turns before and the agent just have to tag to the final destination
Eg
Hkg-tpe-hkg-LHR
The agent accept the bag at hkg will just disregard hkg-tpe-hkg and just issue a hkg-LHR tag. The agent told me the system will not allow tags going back to origin.
So my issue is that for hkg-cmb since it stops in sIn. Will it cause problems if they tag hkg-cmb-sin???

Either way...happy and safe flight to you.
