Keep luggage checked in at layover?

[BigKahunaBurger]

Am flying PER-CBR via SYD on VA.

I wanted to do the two sectors on different days (so as to spend a night in SYD), but when I booked, it was cheaper to book as one ticket, with the sectors over two days.

However, for the night in SYD, I won't need the baggage that I will check-in.

My question is, is there any way to get the luggage to remain checked in at the airport, to save me taking it to SYD, where I don't need it, and then also having to re-check it?

It's unlikely you'll have the option not to retrieve. I think the general principle is baggage may only stay with the airline if you stay at the airport.

That shouldn't be a problem, just make sure the baggage tag has CBR on it when you check in.

Yes your baggage will be removed if you are not on the flight, general principle applies ((
