I'm planning a trip to London in July 2012. Fares are still pretty high, but I was able to find something on UA/CO for $200 cheaper if I fly out of Erie PA instead of CLE. Now, on the return flight I go from LHR to EWR, EWR to CLE, then Erie to CLE. Well, CLE is much closer to my house. So the big question is, can I get my bag checked just to Cleveland when I'm leaving LHR? There is a plane change in CLE, so this would be much easier. Thanks in advance for your help!

i think you mean to say erie to cle on the last leg. under normal circumstances no, but you will have possestion of your bag in ewr and have to check it on. you may be able to change the routing to cle. i doubt it, but worth a try.
