I wouldn’t bet on getting the complimentary hotel on the longer connect just because there’s a little symbol on the famously-funky website. Rules in post #1 are quite clear, but if you do want to chance it and get lucky, good for you!

I always check my bags to final destination. No idea where stuff is kept, but I’ve never had anything stolen from luggage with TK.
