I will be flying CM199 from LIR, landing at PTY at 4:44 PM. I have a separate ticket on AF475 to CDG, departing PTY at 9:10 PM, which means I will have 4h26m between flghts. I will have luggage to check in LIR.
Do CM interline with AF? Is there any chance the CM check-in desk at LIR will be able/willing to check my luggage through to my final destination, so I won’t have to claim my bag in PTY and re-check it with AF? And, if that is not the case, will 4h26m be enough for me to clear immigration in PTY, enter Panama, claim my bag, do check-in with AF and then clear immigration again and security?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
You can always ask about interlining, but with different alliances wouldn't count on it. Otherwise 4:26 is tons of time to get bag & do customs/immig, re-check bag, and enter security.
