Seeing if I have this right. I will have to get my bag and recheck in MIA, and again in MAD, I am traveling IPT, MIA, MAD, HRL, and then VNO.

I booked a single ticket IPT to VNO on AA, to depart today 15MAR2017. In Monday 13MAR2017 AA canceled the ticket, sent me a text that it was due to projected winter storm, and they were unable to rebook. I was worried as I need to be at a meeting in VNO on 20MAR2017, I tried to book but could not get the trip to go through. I then booked separately for Friday 17MAR2017 MIA to MAD on AA, them MAD to VNO on Finnair. For 36 hours I could not get a seat out of IPT on Friday 17MAR2017, but the AA Explat desk was able to get me a seat late yesterday.

So now I went from one ticket and one record locator to three tickets and three record locators. All on OW carriers, AA sold two of the three tickets, yet it looks, after reading 11 pages of this discussion, that I can't check my one bag from IPT through VNO.

Just posting this to make sure I am not missing something. Thanks.
