baggage through? OZ -> NZ transit at SYD
Hello,
I booked NRT - ICN - SYD - AKL -NOU award flight with United MP.
I want to know if my check-in baggage is brought through all the way to NOU.
I will enter all countries above Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
Do I have to pick up my check-in baggage to get through the customs in every country or I have to pick up at SYD only to change carriers?
Thank you.

Assuming each transit is same day (implied by the question about checking through baggage), then you will not need to enter any country prior to NOU. At ICN, SYD and AKL you can proceed through transfer security instead of clearing immigration and customs (as long as bags are through checked).

Thank you for commenting.
I got back from my long trip.
As mentioned, my bag had two tags that are ICN,SYD,AKL and NOU.
I can pick up my bag at NOU without trouble except some damage.
Thank you again for all comments!
