I want to fly DFW-FRA-GOA returning MXP-JFK-DFW (overwater segments are in Premium Economy) for a cruise from GOA
All flights are AA, except the LH flight from FRA-GOA.. There is an 8 hour connection in Frankfurt.
Considering this as it lets me leave late afternoon, and then spend some time visiting Frankfurt then arriving in GOA around 6pm for a cruise the next day.
So, the issue is whether we will need to pick up bags at FRA, extending our exit from the airport, and possible LH bag fees if we need to recheck

Does anyone have experience purchasing an AA-LH connection on aa.com?
Was the LH segment on a 001 ticket? (Basically, should I expect AA to through check the bag DFW-FRA-GOA (Genoa, Italy..... not Goa, India)
Purchased at aa.com it should be all on the same ticket number, bags should be checked through with no issues.

Assuming your're booking well in advance, you could always book it, wait for it to ticket and double confirm that it's all on the same ticket, if for whatever the reason there is a hiccup you could always cancel within the 24 hr. free cancel period.
