Looking for some advice on this situation:
1) AS award ticket on QF MEL-LAX (in F if it matters)
2) AA paid ticket LAX-PHX four hours after MEL-LAX arrives
Based on the Agency Connect page on interlining, I'm not sure if this qualifies for through-checking bags given the following exception:
^ Exemptions apply for customers travelling on a oneworld separate PNRs when using a combination of award travel and revenue travel. Note: This is a Qantas exemption and may not be supported by all oneworld airlines.
Since my QF flights aren't on a OW PNR but were ticketed by AS. Do I have a chance of through-checking bags from MEL to LAX (picking them up to clear customs of course)?
