i remember people saying china airlines not using shared luggage weight... if air tix is 1 piece 23kg then it's really 1 piece 23kg max...

@Joelleyuan is it like that for china airlines? Hehehe...

maybe u list out the dates that you are travelling then easier to help with info... cos cny period means CNY eve, actual 1st and 2nd day? May be different...

Call their local office to check? Their counters are still manual check in, so I guess the person serving u can make the judgement? If it is automated, then probably applies to per piece?

Even scoot allow more than one piece as long as total weight don’t exceed. China airlines a bit dinosaur.

dihua street is a must during cny, imo. it's like our chinatown, but with much more stalls and free samplings.
