I was not about to take such a chance, and she recommended I collect my bags in Zurich and re-check it then, and I took her advice.
That was probably a smart thing you did, not checking it the entire way. This January, I also had kinda complicated itinerary:
ZRH-ATL-ORD (DL J) -PHX (US F) -ATL-MCO (DL F)
The check-in agent commented that it was one of the most complicated itinerary she had ever seen. And it was smack-in-the-middle of the snow storm in JFK and ORD. She was not able to tag my bags all the way to MCO as the system reached its max limit for no. of flights
, however,
she did tag my bags to PHX. I put this in bold, as I was transferring from a SkyTeam carrier (where I have an E+ status) to Star Alliance (no status
). I was really skeptical, however, everything went fine and I was able to get my bag at PHX, just in time for my PHX-ATL-MCO leg!
