Transit MAD, but have to claim luggage
I will be flying:
DFW-BOS AA
BOS-MAD IB arriving T4S
MAD-PMI IB(VY) departing T4
From what I can tell, I will not be be able to check bags through to PMI, as AA has no agreements with Vueling (or Spanair or Air Europa). I will have 4 hours in MAD to connect.
Can anyone take me through the process? Most info I have found pertains to those who can check bags through to final destination. Do I follow the signage as if I was leaving the airport to claim bags and go thorough customs? Then loop around and recheck with Vueling?
Any info would be appreciated.
