What would you estimate as the % chance that they would refuse to check a bag to LHR rather than AMS? Would the fact that I'm taking a domestic AA flight increase or decrease this %?
thx
where are you checking the bag?
if your route is BA JFK - LHR - AMS, it's a 90+% likelihood that they will NOT let you check the bag 'short' to LHR. that's the feedback on here. I had it happen a few years ago and paid $400 for the priviledge.
Checking-in in some outstation that doesnt come across these that often (and indeed with an AA agent) might help your chances of being able to short-check the bag to LHR though I think AA is also generally pretty hot on this.
