Question

When changing between 2 airlines will they check bags to my final destination or do I have to pick them up?

Answer 1

It does depend. When you check in at the first airport, usually they ask you what your final destination is. When I flew Milwaukee to Newark to Frankfurt to Addis Ababa they checked all the way through. When I flew from Milwaukee to Chicago to DC to Miami to Lima they did not because the Lima flight was after midnight.



If you want to know ahead of time, just call the airline you are flying with first.

Answer 2

I have flown quite a bit, mainly Southwest, US Airways and Delta. Every time even when I had to change planes twice to get somewhere my bags were always checked for me. I never went to get them until I made it to my final stop. However, seeing as some other people have experienced having to pick them up in between flights, to avoid much hassle and aggervation on your trip I would check with the airline for sure!

Answer 3

I have been to many places so it depends. When I go to India, I go via Paris. I pick my bags at the final destination

Answer 4

I've just returned from Asia, and they sent my luggage to my final destination. The good news was that everything was there and nothing was damaged!

Answer 5

As far as I have ever seen you have to pick up your baggage between flights. Of course with all the other mix ups that I had that day, it may not be the case.

Answer 6

They usually send them to your final destination. You only have to worry about your carry-ons.

Answer 7

just worry about moving your carryon

they will take care of the rest.

all my flights were on the way to or from iraq so the army took car of mine

Answer 8
