SJC to PUS via NRT on ANA and KAL, ticket & baggage questions
Hello,
I am planning to purchase a roundtrip ticket from SJC to NRT on ANA, and from NRT to Busan PUS on the same day via Korean Airline operated by JAL.
I'd like to know if it is possible to check in my luggage all the way from SJC to PUS, and on the way back from PUS to SJC? (without having to clear immigration to retrieve them at NRT)
I am trying to purchase the combination tickets from ANA but nothing comes up. Can't get it from United website, nor Korean Air website too. The only places I see the combination is through travel agents like Expedia and Orbitz so far. Would buying the ticket from these companies be alright (regarding to the luggage question)?
Thanks,
...

As for interlining luggage, I think your best option is to call the first airline (i.e. United, JAL, or ANA) and ask them if they can interline luggage at NRT. Some airlines have changed their service in this regard. My guess is that ANA and JAL will do it. Not sure about Untied.

Actually, KE is in the same terminal as NH (North Wing vs. South Wing), so the transfer is not as bad as if changing terminals was required. I agree with you that the OP should try to put the whole itinerary on one ticket if possible.
