Is that correct or do we need to plan enough time in ZRH to collect luggage and recheck?
TIA
I have a similar situation, flying YEG-YUL (AC), YUL-ZRH (LX) in J on an award ticket, then a same-day connection from ZRH-FLR (LX) in Y on a revenue ticket. I know I can normally check my bag through, however, the revenue flight is in LX's 'Light' fare class which does not include checked baggage, even for *G.
Will AC be able to check the bag through, helping me avoid the CHF 20 fee, or will the fact that no baggage is included mean I'll have to suck it up and pay LX their baggage charge?
