Sebastian Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) When coming in to CAN, 3 times now I've seen a 'luggage recheck' sign, just outside the international arrivals gate,with an arrrow, and never see anyone manning it (I come in on the 6:50 AM flight outta LAX). I'm tired of schlepping the big bags up to a ticket / Check-in counter - so I'm a asking - where is a working luggage recheck area , just outside of international arrivals, at CAN ? FWIW, I did learn about the escalator the hard way, but found the elevators in the subsequent 2 trips. (these take me to the normal check in area) Thanks in advance !!! Warmest Regards...

Sebastian Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 OK - after a week of so of hitting TheGoogle - it seems that the only way to get rechecked is to do it at the check in counter. Thankfully, I did learn about the elevators from the International Arrival Level - i will have fun this next time, make it a speedier passthrough. YUM !

I have been in and out of that airport over a dozen times now, including the intra-country flights and I have never noticed that sign ?? I am not aware of any option to re-check a bag, other than at one of the regular gates. Also, don't get sucked into paying 30 RMB to have a bag strapped in yellow safety tape !! The uniformed guys who motion you into the strapping machine area, make you feel like it is required or necessary, but it is a waste unless you have a bag which is busting at the seams. BTW, did I miss something here.....the member ID is Sebastian but the edit ID in post #1 shows Darnell ??? Is this a membership name change ??

yuehan123 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Nope, I never noticed that sign either. Don't check bags though. As for name changes refer to http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35468specifically: try this click on the users name then profile options then Member's Display Name Historythe fact that many thingies are there tells you maybe there has been a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) I'm taking a small camcorder this trip, gonna turn it on just as soon as I'm out of the Customs Area (right at the first spot where you can buy a China TeleCom Sim card, do some money exchange, yada yada). I swear, 'this sign' is about 50 metres pass this point. Was always 'unmanned' when I came through. FWIW - it's 'step 6', listed here: http://www.baiyunairport.com/english/process8.jsp with a bigger map here: http://www.baiyunairport.com/english/a8.htm (sure the map is a bit mislabelled - but 1F, international arrival hall, is barely visible).

bobi Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) When I landed in Guangzhou from LA, I picked up luggage, went thru customs and was directed thru door to baggage re-check they checked my luggage and took care of my ticket to Nanning then I went upstairs to the gate. Good Luck.

Sebastian Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 bobi - thanks for the confirmation !!! So I'm not losing my mind after all Usually I'm coming in on the Sunday Morning Flight, so maybe it's just a 'day of the week' problem for me. Warmest Regards...
