Complete Xiamen baggage confirmation without WeChat
If your bag is enrolled in XiamenAir’s international-to-domestic through service, go to the through-baggage inspection waiting area after immigration and show your baggage tag to the staff. Ask them to complete “通关再确认” for that tag. A WeChat-only screen is not a reason to borrow another passenger’s account or walk away before your bag’s status is resolved.
The original traveller said they could not continue until a bag was cleared, but did not identify the airline or ticket arrangement. Use the through-service branch below only after checking that it applies to your bag. If it does not, use collection, Customs and recheck instead.
At the waiting area: do this now
Step-by-step instructions
- Keep your passport, baggage-tag receipt and onward boarding pass together. If you do not have the onward boarding pass, show the booking with its flight number and departure time.
- After immigration, follow the through-transfer route to 通程待检区; the airline’s route diagram also calls this 通程等待区. Approach the staff there with the card below. Do this before leaving the baggage/Customs process for domestic departures.
- Ask the staff to match the tag number to your onward flight and tell you whether the bag is cleared, still waiting, or needs inspection/collection. Keep waiting in the instructed area if it is not yet cleared.
- Once staff give you the bag’s disposition and direct you onward, follow the applicable Customs, domestic security and boarding route. “Released” does not mean you may skip passenger checks.
XiamenAir’s instructions explicitly require staff contact for baggage re-confirmation. They also provide for signed through-baggage terms or a full-delegation agreement. They do not describe a WeChat account as the only method. Request staff assistance and the paper agreement if needed; this is not a promise of an instant manual clearance.

Show this card and fill the blanks from your documents:
我没有微信。我是国际转国内旅客。请先确认行李牌 ______ 是否已办理通程行李服务。续程航班是 ______，起飞时间 ______。
如果已办理，请帮我做人工“通关再确认”；如需签署《中转行李免提通关全委托处理协议》，请给我纸质版本。
请告诉我这件行李是已放行、仍在等待，还是需要本人提取或开箱。我应该留在哪里、下一步去哪里？
I do not use WeChat. Please first check whether baggage tag ___ has through-baggage service for flight ___ departing at ___. If it does, please assist with customs re-confirmation and provide the paper authorization if required. Tell me whether this bag is released, waiting, or needs collection/inspection, and where I should stay or go next.
Before signing, have any unclear wording explained. Do not sign a declaration that is inaccurate for your bag’s contents. If the screen is actually about a different airline process or security hold, have the staff identify that process rather than assuming this Customs procedure replaces it.
Check that the through-service branch fits
- Eligible tickets and operating carriers
The published service covers eligible connecting tickets operated by XiamenAir, Hebei Airlines or Jiangxi Air; another carrier using a codeshare marketing number is not sufficient. Participating origin airports and the permitted same-day/within-24-hours connection differ. A final-destination bag tag by itself does not establish enrollment.
- Confirm this bag’s enrollment
At origin check-in, ask the agent to confirm this specific itinerary has Xiamen’s no-collection through service, and retain the tag and onward boarding information. If already in Xiamen, let the waiting-area staff check that enrollment against the tag. Unknown eligibility means confirm the handling route before moving, not “assume through.” Service eligibility
If you must collect and recheck
- Ordinary collection and recheck
For the ordinary international-arrival connection, Xiamen Airport directs passengers through immigration, baggage claim, Customs, then departures on level 2 for the onward check-in/security process. Collect the actual bag before proceeding; if it is missing or has been sent onward, show the tag at baggage/transfer assistance and get a handling decision instead of leaving it unresolved.
- T3 to T4 transfer
Check the onward terminal on your booking and airport display. For an international arrival at T3 connecting to T4, the airport lists T3 A7 transfer counter for onward check-in/bag handling and an airside bus. This is distinct from simply going upstairs in T3. Use A7 to establish the T4 transfer route; if unavailable, use airport assistance on 0592-96363 to arrange the applicable transfer before leaving the terminal. Airport transfer guide
If you took the wrong route or your connection is short
- If you left the waiting area
If you have already left the waiting area, stop at staffed transfer assistance with the tag. Explain where you came from and whether anyone confirmed release. Do not try to reverse through a controlled door. Ask staff to locate the bag and arrange the next authorized step.
- Assistance from your current side
XiamenAir lists a transfer-assurance counter opposite arrivals Door 7, and a domestic transfer counter beside Gate 6 inside the secure hall. Use the one accessible from your current side; do not leave Customs just to reach a counter. 95557 is the airline’s phone alternative when you cannot use its WeChat service. Named assistance
- Published connection and check-in limits
XiamenAir publishes a 120-minute minimum international-to-domestic connection and a domestic check-in cutoff 30 minutes before departure. These are its published planning/check-in limits, not a guarantee that an unresolved bag will clear in time.
- Escalate before time runs out
Escalate as soon as the bag is unresolved and you are concerned about making the flight. Ask for the onward airline’s ground representative, show the scheduled departure and request a decision: continue, inspect/collect, or arrange another flight. Do not wait for a check-in cutoff to start asking. Security, gate closure and reaching the gate still take time even when you already have a boarding pass.
Urgent card:
我的续程航班 ______ 在 ______ 起飞，行李牌 ______ 的状态还没有确认。请联系续程航空公司的地面代表，确认我现在应继续转机、配合查验，还是办理改签。请同时确认行李下一步由谁处理、送到哪里。
My onward flight ___ departs at ___, and bag tag ___ is still unresolved. Please contact the onward airline’s ground representative and confirm whether I should continue, attend inspection, or arrange a new flight. Please also confirm who will handle the bag and its next destination.
For a connection on one protected itinerary, request missed-connection assistance from the operating carrier. For separate tickets, contact the onward carrier or seller promptly about that ticket’s options. A replacement flight is not confirmed until issued; a bag is not confirmed re-routed until its handling is documented. Do not assume a free change, accommodation, or automatic transfer to a new flight.
