FAQs & Answers

  1. When do I have to collect my luggage during connecting flights? You usually only need to collect your luggage if your connecting flights are booked on separate tickets or operated by different, non-partner airlines. Otherwise, your bags are typically checked through to your final destination.
  2. How can I confirm if my luggage will be checked through to my final destination? Ask your airline during check-in or review your booking details to confirm if your luggage will be transferred automatically for all connecting flights.
  3. What happens if I have separate tickets for connecting flights? If you booked separate tickets, you will likely need to collect your luggage at the first destination and re-check it for the next flight.
