1-Will need to check 1 bag. That is free on QF trans-pac flight, but what about the JQ flight?
2-No interline bag check, so have to claim the bag in BNE. Correct?
3-How long does it take for a domestic to int’l connection at BNE? Will have 3:15 to connect, arriving at 8 am.
4-Can one be checked in for the BNE-LAX-JFK flights when checking in for the JQ flight in CNS?
5-Is 2 hours enough for the LAX connection? I believe that the BNE flight arrives at AA T4 in LAX, while 107 departs LAX for JFK at TBIT.
Thanks…
As the JQ flight is booked on QF code, it gets QF rights. Even if it didn't, the Most Significant Carrier rules would apply and the QF limits for TPAC would govern.
Yep, you'll have to claim the bag. Then go to the T-bus which is free with a QF onwards boarding pass.
To avoid problems with JQ not being able to print the BP, you should be able to check-in online, though the JQ flight may cause problems with that.
The connection in LAX is tight but QF is used to moving people from the various flights onto QF108 and will have you sorted.
