Gate checking a bag with a connection?
Hi everyone, I have limited experience with JetBlue but I am trying to help a family member. She is about to fly on an itinerary that takes her through FLL. Her carry on meets the size requirements. However, on her way to her destination, it fit fine on the first plane, but the 2nd plane was an E190 and it did not fit. She had to gate check it and picked it up in baggage claim in her destination.
On her way back it will be reversed - her first flight is an E190 connecting in FLL to an A320. What will happen if she again needs to gate check the bag when she gets to the E190? Will it go to baggage claim in FLL? Will it get checked through to her destination?
Thanks for any help!
