Flight (Frankfurt -- Peking -- Taipei) with Air China?

Question

Hi there,

I've never flown with Air China before and never outside of Europe for that matter. Usually I only fly with cheap airlines inside of Europe. Since it's my first longer flight and the first with a 'normal' airline, I've got a couple of questions.

Tickets:
As I understand, there's no online-check-in available for international flights with Air China. So I just go to the Check-In counter with my reservation code and passport to get my tickets, right? Do I get all tickets? Or just the outbound ones? Or just the one for the first flight. I need at least the 2nd outbound ticket from China to Taipei so that don't need a visa for China ...

Baggage:
I have one carry-on baggage item that has the right measurements. 5kg are allowed, which is OK, if I don't take my laptop. However, with my laptop, it's more, about 7kg. I'd like to take it. I read somewhere that Air China allows one 1kg item + 1 personal item like a laptop in economy class. Don't know how reliable it was, though. They didn't mention it on air china's website.

About the checked baggage: I expect that I don't have to handle my checked baggage when transferring in China, do I? You usually have to with cheap airlines, though. What's the usual?

Thanks in advance for all infos you can give me. Cheers.

You'll recieve the boarding passes for all  your outbound flights when you check-in in Frankfurt and your luggage will be forwarded through to Taipei. You don't get the boarding passes for your return flights until the day of your return flight.

When you get to Beijing, you will stay in the transit area of the airport and do not need a visa.
