I'm booked to MXP on UA next month. My final destination is Davos, Switz.

My plan originally was to take the train Milan-Zurich-Davos, but it works out better/costs the same to fly MXP-ZRH and train to Davos.

I booked a K fare on Swiss through United, and I've easily interlined bags before, just never in the EU (or with LX). The K fare doesn't carry any baggage allowance; I'm sure the UA agent will have no problem doing this for me, but what will the LX agent say in MXP.. I don't want the bag to be left in MXP because I said, "No bags to check" when there's one sitting on the tarmac, but would prefer not to be charged.. but I guess they can't weigh it if I immediately re-check it after clearing EU customs (Is this the standard like in the US?)

I booked the ticket just now, so I have 24 hrs to cancel. Just curious what the LX folks on here have to say on the subject. Let me know if I haven't given enough information.

For reference, I did this same thing with SAA when flying to JNB, then booking JNB-CPT separately on a deep discount with no baggage allowance.
