There is a very interesting thread describing how FF structure their itineraries to ensure they can use their points for business or first.  This often means that flying from say Sydney to London might be via - Melbourne/Denpasar/Singapore/Istanbul/Amsterdam.  What happens to their luggage.  Do they claim it at each intermediate point and checkin or does the luggage follow the passenger on each flight with no interim checkin.  Just curious how this works.  I assume this is all booked through Qantas so one PNR.  Also wonder how often baggage gets lost compared to flying direct.
