Hi All,

I'm flying YVR-DFW-MSY in a few weeks and will have a 17-hour overnight layover in Dallas. I wanted to see if I am able to get my bags in Dallas and then check them in again before my flight to New Orleans, as I'd rather hold on to them myself rather than let the airlines do so for that long a time. Some posts I read from a few years back seem to indicate that if the layover is greater than 12 hours this is standard, but I wanted to double check. Even if it's not standard, would I be able to request that my bags be checked only through Dallas when departing Vancouver?

Thanks!
