Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

best thing would be to check with the airline or your travel agent ... then the answer you get will be accurate

Answer 3

yes you must in order to get it

Answer 4

If your connection time in Minneapolis and Tokyo are less than 4 hours in each city, you do not need to collect your luggage...it will be checked through to your final destination of Shanghai.  Once you arrive in Shanghai you will collect your luggage and go through customs.  Now, on your return you will have to collect your luggage on your first point of arrival in the US and go through customs then re-check it on to Appleton.

Answer 5

When you check in ask the ticket agent if they can check your bags all the way through. The only reason you might have to pick up and recheck your bags (in Tokyo) is because of it being a domestic to international flight. You may have to take your bags through customs personally....but most likely you can get them sent all the way through. have fun!
