[walrusie]

hi guys, ive bought ticket going to sapporo via JAL. my qns is, my flight back from sapporo will transit in singapore then to KL. (i.e sapporo -> sg -> kl) however, i do not want to go to KL and will like to stop in singapore. is it possible to have my check in luggage to be collected in singapore?

are you still planning to take sin>kul?

I'm going to assume that you're flying to sapporo from kl.

Hence if u decided to stop in sg for your return trip, it'll be considered open jaw n pricing will differ. You'll need to call jal to change your itinerary

As far as I know, airlines may have a clause that states that you must travel on all sectors of the booked flights else they reserve the rights to charge you differently. I saw such clauses on Air France before and it makes sense as the tickets to different cities are priced differently such that it is cheaper to fly further actually.

You'll have to convince the agent to short-check your bags, and it might be possible if you have a long layover, but if it's just about an hour (under 2hrs), you'll have a very hard time making a plausible case. In case you do have a long layover, you can try to claim that you need to access your belongings, say gifts for friends in SG, but it would be absolutely at the discretion of the check-in agent to allow this.

And even if they do and you successfully terminate your travel in SG, you may potentially be on the 'blacklist' for JAL for future flights. For one you'll definitely delay the departure of the flight to KL.

Best if you do not have any check-in bags.
