Hopefully I've posted this question in the right place, and it's not intended as a political observation in any way. My son (16) is travelling with a school group to Europe in early November and returning late December, and HKG is the lay-over stop in both directions. I asked the school if...

While helping a friend find a last minute J fare SYD-xx_-JFK (or EWR) (and return a week later) - noticed that itineraries which transit HKG (on CX) were among the most expensive. I was surprised that CX were not discounting such fares as many passengers would not wish to risk a HKG connection...

Flying SYD-BNE-NRT on QF on one ticket, I presume the luggage would be through checked to NRT? Is there anywhere on the QF website that talks about the policy for this? Cheers
