Yep, make sure you get one of the yellow gate check bag tags for it. Sometimes they dont check and if you dont have it it is possible it could end up at the baggage carousel. </font>

GadgetFreak is right - This happened to me once on a connection through PHL, when I didn't realize you needed to request the yellow tag. What ordinarily would have been a comfortable one-hour layover turned into a mad dash of retrieving my carry-on from baggage claim and going back through security.
