I have booked DFW-ORD-LHR-AMS-LHR-DUB (hey, I didn't make the airline fare rules, lets just say its hugely less than DFW-LHR-DUB, daytime flight is a requirement, without even mentioning the miles/points/segment issues). So my question is can my bags be checked in Dallas and picked up in Dublin (at about the same time I get there of course, without any claiming & re-checking along the way). Before you suggest I phone AA, I have. The answers have been: "1"(pretty sure that one's wrong),"2", "3", "no limit" (pretty sure that one's wrong too) & "I don't know." I guess I could phone 20 times and go with the average but I figured someone on here must have encountered this issue somewhere, sometime.
Will I actually do this? I doubt it because the double LHR x-fer increases the chances for a mishap by an order of magnitude but for the moment its on hold and I'm asking.
THanks,
The issue is - I think- the bag tag system (computer generted bag tag) can only support x number of flights. They use to have to generate a hand written tag (that is always a potential issue). The only people who really know the answer is a check-in person. If u swing by an airport ask them.
