Thanks for the responses. I bought my ticket over the summer so hopefully I'll be afforded two checked bags. Do I have to check-in at the LH counter? Or can I just go to CO? Can I check in for both flights at one counter? My outbound flight was last month and the intra-Europe connection was on Swiss Air Lines. In Newark, I went to the CO counter and received boarding passes for both flights. Are the rules different because the originating carrier is not CO?
