Hello -

I've booked at different times so two different records.
FLL-SFO
SFO-AKL

The FLL-SFO arrives 10am and SFO-AKL departs 10:45pm.
Will UA check the bags all the way through in FLL?
I realize separate tickets but single airline.

If so, are they going to tell me the layover is too long at SFO to do this?

If the layover is too long, does anyone know a paid luggage storage place at SFO and how early one can then recheck the bags for AKL?

Thanks!
