TAP Portugal Checking Baggage Through for Later Flight
So we snagged a biz class deal last summer flying CPH>MIA via LIS in a few weeks. At that time our plans weren't firmed up and we figured we would grab a cheap RyanAIr flight to CPH. Well the price on that flight from OPO ended up approaching what TAP wanted so we now are booked to fly OPO>LIS>CPH late one day and board at 5:15 or so the next morning to fly CPH>LIS>MIA. Since we will only be in CPH under seven hours, we aren't going to get a hotel room but I would love to not have to deal with our baggage. Any suggestions from experienced TAP fliers on the best way to approach the gate agent here in Porto to request that they check our bags all the way through to MIA? That way we could just stay airside in CPH which from what I can tell from the sleeping in airports website is better than landslide.
Or any other suggestions on how to make an airport overnight more bearable? The lounge I can use with Priority Pass closes about the time of our arrival so even if we can figure out a way to not have to collect our bags, we still we be stuck in the airport proper.
TIA,
