Delimma Help ICN connecting flights -luggage
My wife is a US GreenCard holder and in a few weeks, she is traveling through ICN from Tashkent on an Uzbek flight with 4hr layover to catch a United flight to California. The flights were not booked together and so there is no automatic transfer of luggage.
Due to delays with passport stuff she no longer has the 3-weeks needed to get a South Korean Visa in Uzbek as planned. We are told she doesn't need a visa to transit through ICN to get to her other flight.
The possible Dilemma is that we are not sure how to get luggage from one flight to the next as most airports have luggage pickup outside of security/passport control and I am not familiar with ICN. Is there a way to get the luggage/baggage transferred or even a service via airline/airport/private that can retrieve the luggage so it can be checked in to the new flight? Any help is appreciated, Thx.
