Don’t bother unless you don’t mind your luggage being stolen!
Review Flew from Brisbane to Shanghai, then Shanghai to Rome. On re.checking in at Shanghai our large blue, Yamaha motorcycle gear bag was flagged and we were asked to open the bag to look at its contents. This was done and they were satisfied, and the bag was re-checked in. We watched it go back on the conveyor belt with all the correct tags on it. During this process the China Eastern staff in the security room saw the expensive and very valuable motorcycle racing gear in the bag. My son races in the world championship and some of this gear has huge sentimental value due to winning a world championship race in it. On arrival in Rome, our bag did not arrive. There are no notes on the system of the bag having been stopped from going in the plane, no trace at all of the bag, and we are now 3 days later. It seems someone at China Eastern in Shanghai decided that over $10k worth of motorcycle racing gear was theirs to steal. Very disappointing China Eastern. Not possible to lose such a huge, very distinctive looking bag. Can only have been stolen. 😡😡
