China is just so funny…So, I have Air China booked from Shanghai to Beijing and then Beijing to Los Angeles. You’d think they’d be able to put the ticket together and have my bag go all the way through to LA because they’re the same airlines? Nope! They can’t find my flight from Beijing to LA because I booked it through a travel agent – ebookers.com, not with Air China and because I am in Shanghai not Beijing. But they said that it should show up in the system in Beijing and so, I’d just simply have to get my bag and re-check in Beijing. What a f**king pain in the ass! I hope that at least my flight is IN the system in Beijing! I’d think it should because it did show up in London when I was flying from London to Shanghai.

I should also note that when I booked my flight from Shanghai to Beijing with Air China, I couldn’t even book the flight directly on the website.  I had to call them directly…not cool.  This is 21st century!  What’s up with that, Sophia?

In the past, when I booked flights to other countries, other airports never had problems putting my flights together if I had to make transfers, even if they’re different airlines or when if I booked each leg at separate times.
