Announcement: USAirways Discontinues Interline Bag Check on Split Tickets
I was just hit with this policy at BNA. Flying BNA- CLT-EWR (US) and EWR-DEL (UA).
US airways counter agents at BNA refused to check bag to DEL, even after talking to a supervisor. He showed me the memo from corporate dated August 7, talking about no exceptions, except trivial like US to US tickets.
I bought ticket in early July, so I was not aware of this policy, otherwise I wouldn't have picked US.
Now, my flight to EWR is delayed, so I hope I actually have time to claim bag at EWR and run to the gate. Arghh.
