Need your thoughts please
My family and I have paid SAS tickets TXL-CPH with one ticket number.
We also have CO award tickets CPH - CDG with another ticket number.
Connecting time in CPH is 45 min.
1. Do you think SAS will bag tag luggage SAS to AF in TXL so we dont have to claim luggage and recheck in CPH?
2. We have 1 hr, 25 min connect time in CPH. Do you think this is sufficient time if SAS will not bag tag luggage thru to CDG in TXL?
Thanks for all your suggestions.

SAS is handled by Lufthansa in TXL.
Very hard to tell how they will react, but your chances would have been much better if you were to connect to another Star Alliance carrier at CPH.

It should be OK, main problem is that baggage delivery in CPH is painfully slow, I have waited up to 30-40 minutes to reclaim my luggage from a shorthaul intra-Scandinavian flight.
On the other hand I suppose TXL-CPH is operated by a regional aircraft with a smaller number of passengers and bags which should probably make the process slightly quicker.

It depends when your flight is, because Continental will be part of the Star Alliance from next week - this could be a big help to you.

But AF won't (thank God!) :D

Oops sorry, I misread...I only saw the part about CO award tickets.
