I didn't want to risk it. More importantly, imagine if that did happen and CX decided not to honor or credit all the flights back to AA. That would be catastrophic.

I am sure it's safe to abandon the last SIN-CMB leg of CX. We have many FTers from HK book TPE-HKG-SYD (or YYZ)-HKG-TPE in I. They take positioning flight from HKG to TPE on the outbound (mandatory), but on the return they are able to issue BP and check bags to HKG only and pick up bags in HKG without consequence.

Strictly you cannot, but anecdotally you can. At least to date.

((*** gasping for air ***)) OMG, I cannot stop laughing!

Thank you, GRALISTAIR for "bumping" this thread up in the TR list. And damn you, eightblack, for contributing to what will certainly be a long, dark, sleepless night spent reading and re-reading TRs that somehow were missed during my lurking phase.

Sometimes there's something to be said for being (proverbially) stuck alone in a hotel on a Saturday night ... at least I've got great reading material.

This is great! Excellent - most delightful - writing style.

Do you know when the last time was I sat glued to my seat, reading a trip report over 10 PAGES long? Normally I just check out all the pics and leave it at that :D
