Hi AFFers!
I've tried to search around for info relating to this, but I can't seem to find it.
Basically, I've just rerouted an existing QANTAS booking SYD-LHR-SYD to SYD-LHR//FCO-HKG-SYD (with a 12 or so hour layover in HKG).
Whilst changing the itinerary over the phone, the agent mentioned that I wouldn't be able to leave the airport in HKG, and when I asked why she said that if I leave and 'QANTAS finds out, they'll destroy the bags that I've checked through from FCO-SYD'.
I have never heard of this happening before, and frankly it sounds ridiculous. There's no way I'm wasting 12 hours of HKG stuck in the airport!
Can anyone advise whether they've heard of this ever happening? If guess if worst comes to worst, or if the check in agent insists, I'll just check my bags through to Rome and re-check them once I reach HKG.
Cheers!
