Hey guys! Big fan! I signed up for SurfShark with your code. It caused soooooo many problems. I couldn't google something without filling in a Capcha, i have to login to all of my accounts daily..... definitely not worth it if you are at home. Massive headache. I reached out and got a refund. Sucks, cause i was really drawn to the benefits. In this case, the headache majorly outweighed the benefit.

[@laurenbrittain8548]

You can add segments from different reservations to tag your bags further than your itinerary! If you wanted to you could’ve I’ve gotten them sent to Japan instead of rechecking in SFO. Every airline has different time standards for your connections but usually if your connection is under 12 hours you can check your bag pass the itinerary you’re checking in with. It takes five minutes to add the segment and then your bag is tagged to the destination of your choice. We just need the flight number its origin in destination! :)-an airline employee.
