Thanks.
So essentially, its like an inter-line, but all on NW. Show both initerairies/ BP's and they should be able to route my bag appropriately.
I wish the same could have been said for DTW this evening. They managed to leave my bag behind in DTW, for a simple nonstop flight. I checked in 60 minutes early and they (or the TSA) leave it behind. In the three times I've checked bags in DTW this year I'm 1 for 3. Both times, they have simply been left behind with supposedly ample time. I have much better luck on tight connections in MSP than I do when on a nonstop starting in DTW.
DTW was a mess tonight, it seems like the Wed. before Thanksgiving. As an added bonus, they closed the regular check-in counters & the ones in the garage so all the Joe-Travelers were in the Elite area, and they closed the one checkpoint early.
