Separate ticket baggage policy?
I'm United Global Services and *G.
I am flying GVA-MUC-ORD next month. My itinerary would be two SEPARATELY purchased (cash) tickets: GVA-MUC on LX Economy Light, then a United Polaris ticket for MUC-ORD (I purchased 1 ticket, work purchased the other). I can have UA link the itineraries - will that make a difference if LX is the first carrier in terms of baggage fees or being able to check my bag all the way through to ORD? I'll have a personal item and a 21" carry on.
If I understand, my *G benefits aren't applicable (Economy Light appears to be the only option - I can't figure out how to purchase a Classic fare on swiss.com) with this Fare Class. Would I have to pay the checked bag fee in GVA at the LX counter (or at OLCI), and then pick up and recheck my bag (or carry it on) in MUC for the MUC-ORD leg?
