Checked Bag - easy question
 
Hi,

Tomorrow morning, I'm flying Air China (Economy) from Nanjing to Beijing, have a 5 hour connection at PEK, then continue on to EWR on United (BusinessFirst).

Will I be checking my bag all the way thru to EWR at Nanjing? Plan to visit the Hilton airport hotel for a few hours but dont want to drag my bag along...

Thanks,
LAR

If you can't, you can check the bag at the United desk on the departure level before you go to the hotel.

And if for any reason the United check-in desk is not open that early, then you can park it at Left Luggage.

It should be open because 888 leaves at around noon.

No, your bags will not be checked all the way through.

Others can correct me but there are generally few flights in China that bags can be checked all the way through.

All, Thanks for your help. In case anyone is interested, the nice lady in Nanjing, after being asked, did check my bag all the way through and it showed up just fine! Killing 2 hours at the Hilton was a nice strategy. Thanks FT'ers.

Cheers.

0_0 unbelievable. They actually can check the bags all the way through. Is this new policy or did some agent break the rule about pretending to be a third world country?
