Checking in Additional Luggage in layover Airport?
 

We plan to take our son to Florida next year, and currently our return AA flight connects us to LAX for a long layover then connecting to a CX flight.

My question is this. . . Can I check in my luggage from MCO to HKG all the way, and then ADD more luggage while in LAX (plan to go to Costco and stock up!) ie: check in two luggage from Florida straight to HKG, then add two more in LAX? Or will this cause TSA and/or CX to go nuts? Anyone has experience doing this?

Did this several times - not with CX but with other airlines. Never a problem as long as you are below the limits for the total luggage.

How many of you are traveling and in what class? how long is the layover? mind you that LAX could get really busy at times if you don't have status.

There are 3 passengers on Economy class, with approx. 10 hour layover. So theoretically, we are allowed to check in 6 bags of 50 lbs luggage.;)

AA should be ok to check bags directly to HK as long as it's a same day flight

for adding bags at LAX, you will need to check in again at LAX anyway, I am 90% sure that you will be able to do that

I add the remaining 10%. U should be fine as long as you know your baggage limits

That's good to know. Now can plan for a shopping list! Thanks a lot.
