Indeed they will. I flew INTL-LAX-XXX-INTL Bags were checked to third country. I requested a short check to XXX because we had an overnight layover. A few keyboard clicks and out came the bag tags destined to XXX. Furthermore, I had bags checked from San Jose Costa Rica to Puerto Vallarta Mexico. The bags flew SJO-LAX-SEA-SFO-PVR.
