Thx for the help

If you have two tickets (ie: it was cheaper or similar, so you booked two r/ts and the two airlines do not know about you+each other), then you have to reclaim and recheck your bag(s) at the "connecting" city. You'd pay baggage charges at each checkin in this case, since each leg is on a new ticket.

If it is all on one ticket, then they should move the bags for you. Whomever you actually fly first gets all your baggage fees (if any), each way.
