Greetings,

I have two separate tickets and I was wondering if interlining my bags would work in this situation.

Ticket 1: AA - MFE/DFW
Ticket 2: US - DFW/CLT/FRA
--------- LH - FRA/VCE (US Code Share Flight w/LH)

My point of origin is MFE and final destination is VCE.

The issues here are that in CLT there is a change of aircraft, but they use the same flight number for both aircraft. I am not sure if the change of aircraft is tagged on the checked bags or not since it is the same flight number. If it is, then how would AA know to tag it as such? There is, of course, the LH Code Share on the final leg as well which might or might not be a problem.

Would it be better to reclaim my bags at DFW and recheck them with US (we have a 4 hour layover at DFW)?

Thanks!
