Connecting flights , different airlines; what about my luggage?
Filed Under (luggage) by admin
Gasgano 55 asked:


I’m planning on travelling from Montréal, QC to Lake Charles,LA.

I have a Montréal - New York ticket with Air Canada and a New York - Houston flight with Continental Airlines.

Will my luggage follow between both airlines or do I have to get it back and check it in again in New York? The problem is I don’t have much time in NY and I feel checking in my luggage there would make me miss my connecting flight. I know that when you’re flying the same airline, it’s checked to your final destination.

What about for different airlines?

  • When changing airlines on international flight, will I need to claim and recheck luggage at connecting airport
  • Do you have to pay for your luggage when connecting to a flight at a different airport?
  • What are the chances of my luggage getting lost at London Heathrow T5?
  • Do I need to pick up my luggage after a domestic flight, before an international flight?

    did you book through the same company, or did you book one flight and then go into the other airline? If the same agent or airline, they do it when you check in and the computer shows your final destination. If you booked one and then seperately the other, I would call either or both airlines and ask them what they can offer

    Ask Air Canada and then ask again at the ticket counter. If you bought the two flights together, you shouldn´t have to check the bags in twice.
