Let Your Hands Be Free! Xiamen Airlines Launches Luggage Through Check-in Service from Australia via Xiamen

On October 28, 2024, Xiamen Airlines inaugurated a groundbreaking luggage check-through service for passengers traveling from Australia to various destinations in China within 24 hours via Xiamen. Travelers are now able to purchase a through ticket and complete the luggage check-through process at check-in counters in Sydney or Melbourne, Australia. Upon transiting through Xiamen, there is no longer a need to collect and re-check luggage, allowing passengers to retrieve their belongings directly at their final destination.

For passengers transferring in Xiamen from Australia to other cities within China, handling numerous and heavy luggage can be burdensome and time-consuming, not to mention the complicated luggage transfer procedures. With the launch of this service, passengers can now avoid the hassle of retrieving their checked luggage during transit, freeing up their hands to fully enjoy the scenic beauty of Xiamen while waiting for their connecting flight.

n, one of the first passengers to experience this service, shared, "I often travel from Sydney to Xiamen and then transfer flights when returning home. The thought of having to re-check all that luggage used to dampen my spirits for sightseeing. Now, with the luggage going straight through, and Xiamen Airport being so close to the city center, I can head straight for fun and food as soon as I land, without any delay."

This year, Xiamen Airlines has been expanding its "through flight" services at Xiamen Airport, achieving luggage check-through for over 70 domestic and international destinations, with more than 1.14 million passengers having already benefited from this service. In collaboration with Xiamen Airport Customs, Xiamen Port Office, and Yuanxiang International Airport, the airline has successfully navigated challenges such as security scanner upgrades and facility configurations, ensuring the timely launch of this service.

Looking forward, Xiamen Airlines is committed to enhancing its hub for transit flights, with plans to implement same-day and next-day luggage check-through services for all overseas destinations.
