What if I don't check any bags?
Linking PNRs is substantially meretricious meaning that, apart from a note on the airline's own systems, you have no clear cut-edge on that very matter, apart from the through baggage, needless to say. That said, travelling on hand-luggage only would surely increase your chances of making the said connection in the first instance even with a delay of the 615 service or in the unfortunate event of missed connection where, usually and by personal experience, the first question at the transfer desk would be
Have you checked any luggage, to which a negative answer would prompt a (generally speaking) more lenient approach from the agent.
I hope this helps.
