2. If we have to check in at Vueling counter in BCN, are they authorized to check bags to the CX flight, even though it is a separate ticket?

Thanks!

I very much doubt you'll be able to through-check. You will most likely be checking in with Vueling - who most probably don't have an interline agreement with CX - or anyone apart from IB for that matter.

In fact, according to this info from Vueling's website, they don't even appear to believe in connections between two of their own flights, nevermind another airline.
